Thomas) Organization: SE-Retail Lines: 37 This is for those people that can not afford, don't want to learn or buy, or there isn't a good spreadsheet available for their system. My wife is a teacher and we have been looking for a grading package ourselves. I finally found one by a company called Associated Computer Services (ACS). It runs on an Amiga and Commadore 64/128 machines and I have been told it also works on a PC clone. It seems to be very easy to use. There is no real setup required except for entering of your class rousters. This package will print out grade book sheets, status reports, grade cards and several other reports. You can customize your reports and create new ones. This package allows you to input either letter or number grades and it will convert either format to the other format for you. You are allowed to set weights on 8 different grading areas, i.e. test, finals, quizes, homework, papers, class work, reports and lab work. For the Amiga this package makes nice use of the graphics and mouse. The price is between $60-$70. It is not copy protected, so you can use backup copies without requiring a key disk. They also have quantity pricing available. Their address is: Associated Computer Services 1306 E. Sunsine Springfield, MO 65804 (417) 887-7373 DISCLAIMER: I don't work for or receive any money from ACS. I am just a very satisfied customer. Plus they did a much better job than what I had done. -- Scott A.
