- All rights are reserved.
- VAR Grade can be distributed as SHAREWARE. It is not free.
-
- Anyone distributing VAR Grade for any kind of remuneration
- must first contact us at the address below for authorization. This
- authorization will be automatically granted to distributors recognized
- by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors,
- and such distributors may begin offering VAR Grade immediately
- (However we must still be advised so that the distributor can be
- kept up-to-date with the latest version of VAR Grade.).
- Vendors distributing VAR Grade must distribute the entire
- version of the program. VAR Grade is usually distributed on
- two 360K disks. You can, however, distribute it on any size disk or
- on bulletin boards. For bulletin boards, I suggest that you
- distribute it as VARGRA.ZIP. Previous versions were probably
- distributed as GRADE0.ZIP, GRADE1.ZIP and GRADE2.ZIP. INSTALL.EXE,
- which installs VAR Grade, will work if the files are named VARGRA.ZIP,
- VARGRA50.ZIP, or VARGRA1.ZIP and VARGRA2.ZIP (as it is sent).
- The program files are listed below, as well as in the Readme.DOC
- and Grade.DOC files. Readme gives a short description of the program.
- Should you need further details, Grade.TXT is the Beginner Manual, and
- Grade.DOC is the Advanced Manual. They are paginated and can be
- printed, either as is or from the INSTALL program. They can also be
- read by any word processor. Grade.DOC can also be read while inside
- VAR Grade itself.
-
- Short Program Description
-
- VAR Grade is a program that allows you to both grade and record
- attendance in your classes. This is a complete grading system, and
- will do just about anything that you need to do. In particular, it
- will allow you to record, analyze, and print grades and attendance.
- In general, the program allows an almost unlimited number of
- students, grades, attendance, database items, reports and analyses.
-
- Long Program Description
-
- This program is flexible enough to allow you to grade your class
- with the same methods you now use--except that the program does the
- tedious chores of adding, plotting, and writing the scores. The
- program has been written by and for teachers and requires no special
- knowledge of computers or MS-DOS.
- This program can be used for both grades and attendance. You may
- grade with either letter or number grades, and you can mix and match
- letter and number grades. You can change the points of any assignment
- or score at any time. You can also use many different types of
- pre-defined assignments (tasks), including ones that are the sums,
- averages, and weights of other tasks. Any task or combination of
- tasks can be plotted, correlated, and analyzed statistically.
- Attendance and seating charts for your classes can be recorded.
- Either individual student scores or scores for each section of the
- class can be printed. You can also add database items, like address,
- age, year in school, etc. When printing, you can control page length,
- margins, and type size. International users can change output, dates,
- and other country dependent information.
- There are no other grading programs that can do all that VAR Grade
- does, whether they are shareware or "buy before you try" (store-bought)
- programs. Try VAR Grade, then register it.
