- This option produces a list of those students who have logged out and the
- time they logged out. The file "OUT" is continuously up-dated as students
- logout.
-
- When a student logs out, an A is placed in the file and when she logs
- back in an R. These characters are ignored by the statistics calculations so
- it is up to the system manager to decide whether or not a credit should be
- given for attendance, absence or late. This rather depends on the
- circumstances and how long the student is away and even an Archy can't
- manage this type of decision! It is therefore necessary to edit the As and
- Rs to an appropriate setting using the list menu and Individual option.
-
- The bit of gobbledegook at the beginning is the number of characters in the
- file so that even if you switch the machine off the program can remember
- where to put the next person. You can create a fresh file by using the
- Create option associated with time files. Incidentally, the file "Out" can
- be dragged into edit or any other RISCOS application for further
- manipulation.
