Stud Rec College Administration Suite September 22 1993
======== ============================ =================
!Blank !Blank
!ALevel ReadSR
!Appoint StudrecDoc
!Attend
!Block
!Exam
This suite of programs uses Powerbase, and expects to find student
records in a database similar to !Blank, with a name of the form
!Year#, where # is an alphanumeric character. The programs !ALevel,
!Appoint, !Attend, !Block and !Exam are provided "as is"; it is up to
the user to adapt them to his own college. However, the programmers
welcome feedback from registered users of Powerbase. These programs
are shareware, although at present registration is free. You are allowed
to copy these programs freely as long as you do not do so for any profit,
and that the suite is kept intact and unchanged.
If you have Powerbase running and !Blank loaded, double click on !ALevel
and enter the name of the database (change !Year2 to the appropriate name).
Press <RETURN> twice or click on <GO>.
Double click on !Appoint to run it and drag the database icon from the
filer window to the Appoint icon on the icon bar. The date and venue
of the evening are writable icons; the information is stored in the
configuration file. Students are given slips to take home. Their
parents state which tutors they wish to see, and the earliest and
latest times they can attend. This information is entered into Appoint
by hand before a timetable is requested.
Double click on !Attend to run it and drag the database icon from the
filer window to the Attend icon on the icon bar. Click on "list
codes" for a list of classes. The "week beginning" is stored in the
configuration file and can be reset by clicking on the "bump" icons.
The other information comes from !Blank.
Double click on !Block to run it and drag the database icon from the
filer window to the Block icon on the icon bar. Choose the number of
blocks (it is set to work with 7) and let it produce a list of who is
where when.
Double click on !Exam to run it and drag the database icon from the
filer window to the Exam icon on the icon bar. Click on "list codes"
for a list of classes.
