QnE FAQ Quick and Easy SPEEDE software 1) What is the Quick and Easy (QnE) software ? The Quick and Easy software is a free, DOS-based program that allows a user to print both college (SPEEDE) and High School (ExPRESS) transcripts, and to acknowledge those transcripts. 2) What is the purpose of the QnE software ? The software was designed as a temporary solution that would allow schools to start receiving transcripts electronically with very little effort. The idea was that the schools would then proceed to develop or buy a more robust solution. 3) Where can I get the QnE software ? http://www.utexas.edu/student/giac/speede/spaacrao/ 4) What do I get ? You will download a file called QnE_ALL.EXE. This is a self- extracting archive that contains a set of 24 files that are used to run the system. The primary file is SPAACRAO.EXE, which is the menu program for the entire system. 5) How do I install the software ? You will need to create a new folder on your system. Then copy QnE_ALL.EXE to the new folder. You may then either RUN QnE_ALL.EXE from the Windows Start button, or start an MS- DOS window, change to the appropriate directory, and then type QnE_ALL.EXE and press enter. Either way, the necessary files will be extracted and installed in the folder/directory. 6) How do I use the software ? To use the software, first you must copy the file(s) you want to print/acknowledge to the folder/directory where SPAACRAO.EXE exists. Then you can run SPAACRAO.EXE, by the RUN command from the Windows Start button, or from within an MS-DOS window.
