The question pools are updated on a yearly basis. Only one pool is updated each year on a revolving basis.  The exception is that the Novice/Tech pools are updated together. The Extra questions were updated 7/96 (dated 12/95). The next update will be the Novice and Tech pools in 1997. The General pool will be updated 1998 and the Advanced in 1999.  This program should continue to work with the updated pools as long as the format of the .txt files remain the same.
