Multiple choice check-boxes but the group has to act like a RADIO button with a single button

Hello,
What I am trying to do is a hybrid between checkbox and radio buttons (but not "RAdio Check-boxes") The e.g. if A,B,C,D and None are options, I have to be able to select multiple choices among A,B,C,D and that would untick "None" or if I select "None", un-ticks A,B,..
  
I can handle javascripts
 
Please help me with this. Atleast tell me if its possible.

script for "none"

if ((this.getField("c21").value=="1"))


this.getField("c22").value="0"
this.getField("c23").value="0"


c22 and 23 were the options (used scripts for both of them)

Solved it myself.Thanks for reading this. I welcome suggestions.

Are you using Acrobat's formtool or LiveCycle designer?

You can places check boxes into exclusionary groups and provide each check box with a unique export value. With Acrobat you set the value of the group to 'Off' and for LiveCycle Designer set the value of the group to the 'OfferOff' or un-checked value. This keeps a lot of coding for selection musch simpler.
