"_
"_
"_
" ╘HIS PROGRAM PACKAGE IS DESIGNED
" TO SERVE AS A GRADE RECORD KEEPER
" AND CALCULATOR. ╔T HAS BEEN THROUGH

" CALLS. ╫HERE A PRINTER IS USED, IT
" IS CONFIGURED AS UNIT FOUR, SECONDAR
"Y ADDRESS 5. (╟EMINI-10X THROUGH A

" 2. ┴ BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE
" FILES CAN BE HAD BY RUNNING THE
" óDIRECTORYó PROGRAM._
"_
" 3. óNAMES UTILITYó ╘HIS PROGRAM
" IS USED FOR THE INITIAL CREATION OF
" A FILE AND TO UPDATE THE CLASS ROLL
" AS STUDENTS WITHDRAW FROM THE COURSE
"; ONE CAN ADD NAMES TO THE CLASS
" LIST BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE OTHER
" PROGRAMS MAY OCCUR. ┴LPHABETIZATION
" WAS NOT INCLUDED AS THE VARIOUS
" DATA FILES WOULD HAVE TO BE SIMULTAN
"EOUSLY SORTED ALSO. ╟ENERALLY ONE
" CAN ENTER A CLASS ROLL IN THE DESIRE
"D FINAL ORDER._
"_
" ╠OAD AND RUN THE PROGRAM. ╘HE
" NAME OF A FILE WILL BE REQUESTED,
" óCOURSEó, THEN IF IT IS A NEW FILE
" OR AN EXISTING ONE. ╘HE FORMER
" OPTION ASKS FOR THE NAMES OF THE
" STUDENTS (PRESS ONLY RETURN TO EXIT
" THIS PROCESS) WHILE THE LATTER
" OPTION GOES TO A MENU OF THINGS TO
" DO._
"_
" ╘HE MAJOR USE OF THIS PROGRAM
" WILL BE TO UPDATE THE CLASS ROLL.

"AWN STUDENTS, REENTER THE STUDENT'S

" OF óDROPó AS A PREFIX WILL ELIMINATE

" ROUTINE USE OF THE OTHER PROGRAMS
" OF THE PACKAGE BUT PRESERVE WHATEVER
" HAS HAPPENED TO THIS POINT._

" 4. óHOMEWORKó AND óATTENDANCEó
" ╘HESE PROGRAMS ARE VIRTUALLY IDENTIC
"AL, HAVING BEEN WRITTEN TO MAINTAIN
" A YES/NO RECORD OF HAVING SUBMITTED
" HOMEWORK PAPERS AND ATTENDED THE
" CLASS SESSION. ┼RROR CORRECTION
" AND CHANGES ARE PERMITTED IF ONE
" HAS IMPROPERLY ENTERED DATA._
"_
" 5. óREPORTERó ╘HIS PROGRAM READS
" THE DATA FILES OF THE óHOMEWORKó
" AND óATTENDANCEó PROGRAMS AND PREPAR
"ES A SUMMARY. ╔T IS SAFER FOR CASUAL
" USE AS THE FILES CAN NOT BE CHANGED
" FROM THIS PROGRAM._

" 6. ╘HESE THREE PROGRAMS WILL DISPLA
"Y A SHORT MENU REQUESTING A SELECTION

" FILES WHILE THE LAST FOUR ARE DEMONS
"TRATION CURRENT FILES. ╘HESE LATTER
" FOUR ARE OBTAINED BY ENTERING óCOURS
"Eó AS THE FILE NAME IN THE APPROPRIAT
"E PROGRAM._
"_
" 9. ╘HE BACKUP FILES AS PROVIDED ON
" MY SUBMITTED DISK ARE IDENTICAL TO
" THE CORRESPONDING óNORMALó FILE.
" ╔N PRACTICE, BACKUP FILES WILL NEED
" TO BE RENAMED TO THEIR óTRUEó NAME
" IN THE DIRECT MODE, WHEREUPON THEY
" CAN BE LOADED FROM A PROGRAM._
"_
"10. ╘HE PROGRAMS ARE REASONABLY
" WELL PROTECTED AGAINST INADVERTANT
" ERRORS, HOWEVER, THE STOP KEY IS
" NOT DISABLED. ╔N MOST CASES WHERE
" óINPUTó IS USED (RATHER THAN óGETó)
" THE DEFAULT RESPONSE WILL EXIT THE
" ROUTINE. ╔N ANY EVENT, THE RESULTS
" WILL NOT BE CATASTROPHIC._
"_
" ╔N SEVERAL PLACES, THE 653
" LOCATION IS USED AS A óREADYó FLAG,
" PRESSING EITHER THE ó├OMMODOREó OR
" óCONTROLó KEY AS DIRECTED WILL SET
" THE CONDITIONS FOR A óWAIT.ó_
"_
" ╨ROVISION IS MADE IN EACH DATA
" SAVE OPERATION TO INSERT A SECOND
" DISK SO THAT AN INDEPENDENT BACKUP
" COPY WILL BE AVAILABLE._
"_
"11. ╬AME AND SUBJECT SEARCHES ARE
" PROVIDED IN THE VARIOUS PROGRAMS.
" ╔T IS NOT NECESSARY THAT THE COMPLET
"E NAME BE ENTERED, ANY FRAGMENT WILL
" SUFFICE AS A PATTERN MATCHING ROUTIN
"E IS USED. ╚OWEVER, THIS ROUTINE
" WILL RETURN THE FIRST OCCURANCE OF
" THE REQUESTED PATTERN; FURTHERMORE,
" LONGER ENTRIES WILL BE PROCESSED
" MORE QUICKLY._
