Game Notes

GBOOK is a grade-keeping utility for teachers. The program is split into two parts: GBOOKA allows you to create or edit class lists and save them to a data file on tape, while GBOOKB allows you to enter grades for a student list created with Part A. The student list creator program seems competent enough, but without a student list data file on tape there's no way for me to evalate the grade entry program. Even though I doubt anybody will run these programs today—there are modern grade-book programs and even a simple Excel spreadsheet is enough to get the job done—these programs represent the spirit of the early days of personal computing: if you couldn't find a program to do what you wanted, you'd simply write your own in BASIC.
