- *REPORT.CFG file with annotations. For use with the MTGU utility.
- *=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
- *Put an asterisk like this at the beginning of an option to disable
- *it. Lines beginning with <D>, <H>, <T>, and <F> can be edited, but
- *the printed portions of these lines cannot exceed 65 characters
- *in width; for reference, a ruler line is provided in each selection.
- *Remember, anything _following_ an asterisk will be ignored and
- *either is treated as a non-printing comment or a disabled option.
- *Blank lines are also ignored; MTGU does all the necessary spacing.
- *Do not change anything _inside_ a pair of <> brackets, else MTGU
- *will not recognize it. Work only with a _copy_ of this file,
- *never the original.
-
- <D>Dec 20, 1993
- *Date the report will be issued, or whatever date you wish.
- *(Length of date plus length of first H line _only_ not to exceed 63.)
- *If <D> is enabled but no <H> lines are enabled, the date will still
- *print on a single line by itself, upper right corner of each report.

- *Whatever you want in these 4 <H> lines above. Current contents are
- *only suggestions.
-
- <HRM>
- <SN>
- *Whatever data you have in these two fields in MTG will be printed
- *along with the correct headings (HRm:, SN:, etc.), so do not change
- *HRM & SN in this file to anything else. Underscored blanks are printed
- *if data is absent.

- <T>SECOND SEMESTER
- <T>GRADE REPORT
- * 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345<--65
- *These title lines will be capitalized, centered, and wide-printed
- *when possible (i.e. if the printer supports 5cpi and a title is 32
- *characters long or less).
-
- <ABSENCES BY CLASS>
- *Prints total absences class by class; if disabled, just a single
- *blank TOTAL ABSENCES: ___ entry is printed at the bottom.
-
- <COURSE DESCRIPTIONS>
- *only first 43 characters is printed and the remainder, if any, is
- *truncated (max description length in MTG is 60 characters).
-
- <LETTER GRADES>
- *Prints letter grades as defined in your SET_UP.MTG or SET_UPM.TGP
- *setup file.
-
- <CLIP AVERAGES AT 100%>
- *Clip course averages over 100%, e.g. 105%, to 100%.
-
- <CLIP OVERALL AVERAGES AT 100%>
- *Clip overall averages over 100% to 100% (if OVERALL AVERAGE is
- *enabled). This option acts independently of clipping/not clipping
- *_course_averages_, i.e. you can enable either, both, or neither.
- *Obviously if course averages are clipped, an overall average _cannot_
- *exceed 100%.
-
- <RAISED PASS INTERVAL>3
- *A digit between 0 and 9 after the `>' indicates how far below a pass
- *will be raised to a pass. E.g., `3' means a mark from 47% (50%-3%)
- *to 49% will be raised to a 50%, and a true 50% is raised to 51%, the
- *default values in MTG's Class Summary report. For NO raised passes,
- *set the interval to 0 or disable the line entirely with an *. This
- *value applies to both course averages _and_ overall averages, depend-
- *ing on whether raised passes are enabled (see below). The example
- *provided above is based on a pass of 50%, but will use whatever
- *pass value you have installed in your MTG setup file.
-
- <OVERALL AVERAGE>
- *i.e. Average (mean) of all course averages.
-
- <OVERALL AVG w RAISED PASS>
- *Applies raised pass to overall average if OVERALL AVERAGE
- *and RAISED PASS INTERVAL are enabled.
-
- <COURSE AVG w RAISED PASS>
- *Applies raised pass to course averages if RAISED PASS INTERVAL is
- *enabled.
-
- <TOTAL CREDITS>
- *Prints: TOTAL CREDITS: ___ MTGU cannot fill in the value for you
- *because it has no way of knowing if a course is 1/4, 1/2, or full
- *credit, or whether credits from previous semesters are to be in-
- *cluded.
-
- <EXPLAIN SYMBOLS>
- Prints `* = No Score' and `_50_ = Raised Pass, _51_ = True Pass + 1'
- *if raised passes are enabled.
-
- <PASS>I recommend this student for advancement to Grade 5.
- <FAIL>Please call to make an appointment.

- *A possible total of 4 comment lines may be printed per report, and
- *they are normally blank (you can either edit the REPORTnn.FIL file(s)
- *yourself after MTGU generates them, or enter them by hand on the
- *printed reports). However, one of these two `boilerplate' comments
- *may be inserted automatically based on an overall pass or fail, ONLY
- *if you have OVERALL AVERAGE enabled; otherwise they will be ignored.
- *Edit the comments to whatever you wish, maximum length 56 characters
- *as indicated by the ruler line. One or both may be enabled.
-
- <BLANK COMMENT LINE>
- *<BLANK COMMENT LINE>
- *<BLANK COMMENT LINE>
- *<BLANK COMMENT LINE>
- *Just prints a line of underscores for each one enabled. These are in
- *addition to the PASS/FAIL comments you have enabled, up to a maximum
- *of four lines, i.e. one PASS/FAIL + 3 blank lines.
-
- <TEACHER SIGNATURE>
- *<GUIDANCE SIGNATURE>
- *<VICE PRINCIPAL SIGNATURE>
- *<PRINCIPAL SIGNATURE>
- <PARENT/GUARDIAN SIGNATURE>
- *Prints: Teacher: ____________________, Guidance: ____________________,
- *etc.; enable whichever signature lines are required, or none.

- <F>PLEASE SIGN AND RETURN THIS REPORT NO LATER THAN JAN 8, 1994
- *<F>HAVE A SAFE HOLIDAY!

- *Put whatever you wish in the <F> lines above, or disable one or
- *both; they will print centered, right at the bottom of each report.
-
- *<FF> *Print one report per page.
- <FF2> *Print two reports per page (if possible).
- *<FF3> *Print as many reports per page as will fit.
- *<FF0> *No form feeds, i.e. no pagination whatsoever, all one chunk.
- *If one or more of <FF>, <FF2>, <FF3>, <FF0> is enabled, only the
- *last-read one counts (i.e. is enabled); they are mutually exclusive.
- *(Two reports per page is set in this sample file.)
-
- *<ONE REPORT.FIN>
- *Print all reports to a single report file instead of default 100
- *students per file & multiple files. (Best only for viewing because
- *your printer may not hold enough paper to print one large file at once;
- *that's what the multiple, smaller files are for.)
-
- *<PRINTER CODES ENABLED>
- *By default, MTGU reads and uses the printer codes in your SET_UP.MTG
- *file. Disable this option with a leading asterisk to turn off all
- *codes except form feeds (see <FF0> for that). Disable all printer
- *codes if you plan to import the files into a word processor or you
- *are a programmer and need to read just the student data minus ex-
- *traneous stuff embedded in it.
