Hi CS 2500 Class --

I have finished grading program #3 and the results are a bit of
a "disaster."  The following "lucky 8" people turned in programs
that "work" sufficiently well to be given credit for doing the
assignment:

1286
2586
4366
5427
8331
8411
9511
9720

The identifiers above are the last four digits of the student
ID code.

Congratulations to those people!

All the rest of the students in the class either did not turn
in a final version of the program, or turned one in that was too
"out of spec" for me to award credit for completing the
assignment.

In view of the fact that there were so many students with
unacceptable programs, I'm offering another chance to get a
passing grade in CS 2500.

If you go here:

http://shalim.csustan.edu/~john/Classes/CS2500_Programming_II/Asg03/TestRuns/

you will find the following files:

clients                 a clients file to use as input
datecoms                a datecoms file to use as input

clients.out             the clients.out file the program should
                        produce when the clients file above and
                        the datecoms file above above are the
                        inputs.

screen.out              the screen output the program should
                        produce when the clients file above and
                        the datecoms file above are the inputs.

If you are not one of the lucky 8, you may work on your program
and fix it so that it works on the input files above and
produces the outputs indicated by clients.out and screen.out.
(It does not have to produce screen.out verbatim, just the
equivalent.)

If you turn in a shar file with a complete solution before
midnight on May 07, then I'll test it with inputs similar to
the ones I've shared with you above.  If you have fixed your
program properly it will run OK on the new test inputs.  If so,
then I'll give you adequate credit to keep you going in the
course (exactly how much credit depends partly on what I think
of what you have turned in already.)

If you are not one of the lucky 8, and if you do not turn in a
fixed program by my deadline, then you will not pass CS 2500
this term.

You may come to office hours to ask questions about this.  Good
luck!

P.S.  Several people did not send me their *.h header files and
I had to retrieve them from their home directories.  Don't make
that mistake any more!  You have to send all your *.cpp files
and *.h files or I can't compile your program.  If I cannot
compile and run your program on my new test data then you can't
get credit for doing the program, which means you can't pass CS
2500.
