PRODUCT OVERVIEW
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Making The Grade Utility is a companion utility for users of
the Making The Grade teachers' gradebook program. This is a
`command line' utility intended for users experienced with
working in the DOS environment who feel comfortable with re-
naming, copying, deleting files, and other common DOS activ-
ities. MTGU provides a number of features for both MTG users
and for programmers who wish to write `school administrator'
type applications that need to access data in MTG/MTG Plus
course files and then manipulate and interrogate that data.
Developers are encouraged to take advantage of the detailed
notes on MTG/MTG Plus file structure in the accompanying on-
disk manual,that make it very easy to export data into dBase
/Clipper applications,and to also create MTG data files dir-
ectly from dBase programs.
