                                   ***GRADEBOOK V3.00***


PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

GRADEBOOK is designed to record and maintain class grades.  This program has evolved from my needs as a college professor to have a quick and reliable way of keeping student grades, calculating class scores, and providing grade reports.  As such, this program has been modified and enhanced many times in order to achieve my grading needs.  The structure of this version (based mainly on Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0) is designed to allow the user to quickly setup a generalized gradebook, easily enter scores, and quickly calculate student averages and class grades.  Many options and tools are incorporated in this program; users may easily add/delete/edit Students, Scores, Grades, Categories, and Class Information.  Letter Grades can be automatically assigned or manually defined.  Student scores and Class Averages are automatically calculated after editing and Category Weights can be edited and applied.  Student Scores can be ordered numerically and Student Names can be alphabetized or rearranged according to the user's needs.  Full Printing Options are allow users to print partial or complete Grade Reports and Worksheets.  This version uses Screen Editing for the entry of student scores; WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get).

This program is ShareWare, and will operate under Windows 95, 98, Xp,or NT4.0, Nt5.0 or Win2000.  You may download and install this fully functional program and use it as Unregistered for 21 times.

INSTALLATION:
After you have downloaded (or obtained) the zipped file (probably the file named "GbkBook.zip"), make a new directory on your hard drive (e.g. C:\Gradebook).  In this directory make a subdirectory to which to copy the zipped file (e.g. C:\Gradebook\GbInstall).
Copy the zipped file to this subdirectory and unzip it in the same directory.  Run (double-click) the Setup.exe file, selecting C:\Gradebook as the destination directory. You may wish to create a new subdirectory to hold you new gradebook files (e.g. ...\GbFiles), and make a shortcut on your desktop to the ...Gradebook.exe program.

That is It!.  After installing you may delete the temporary directory ...\GbInstall.  You may also wish to read the program documentation GbManuel.doc (if this file is in your temporary zip-directory, please copy it to the main program folder before deleting the temp-directory) or refer to the Gradebook Help from the running program.
