Using Examview with Moodle 2.1+

If you are trying to use Examview with Moodle, you know how frustrating that can be.  There are issues if importing the res00000.dat file as well as issues with images in questions and answers.  Luckily the great community over at Moodle.org have coded a very nice solution that takes an Examview Blackboard 6+ Export and seamlessly imports all questions and images into Moodle 2.1+ and Moodle 1.9 depending on which version of the hack you download.  If you are not in the Moodle.org forums, you would never know about this.  Hopefully this hack will make it into the Moodle Core for a future release since it is so good.  SPECIAL THANKS TO Gerry Jenkins and jean-michel vedrine from Moodle.org for working on this Examview Importer.
