Install the AcroTeX Bundle by executing the command: latex acrotex.ins. The eq2db Package (optional) can be installed with the command: latex eq2db.ins. Now try LaTeXing the file webeqtst.tex, with the appropriate driver option set: E.g., \usepackage[dvipsone]{web} \usepackage[dvips]{web} \usepackage[pdftex]{web} \usepackage[dvipdfm]{web} Hopefully everything will work correctly. The manual of usage, webeqman.pdf, was written using the web and exerquiz packages. The printable version, webeqman_p.pdf is the manual re-LaTeXed using the `forpaper' option of the exerquiz package. All the details are contained in this manual. If you want to do something fancy with eForms, review the eformman.pdf. If you are interested in online quizzing, see eq2dbman.pdf.
