Programs:
Powerhour A helper application for a college game (Used with permission from Chet Coonen)
NonResidentAppealLetters A program I wrote for the Department of Enrollment Services at UWM. The program generates Word documents for the Department's Non-Resident Appeal Letters. (requires MS-Word 2000 to be installed in the default directory in order to actually publish the letters)
RecordSeperator1.0.0 Another program I wrote for the Department of Enrollment Services at UWM. The program takes files from a flat directory and places them in another directory of choice creating subdirectories using the original filename's last 4 characters before the filename extension. It is used to take record files (.tif) off of the root of a CD-ROM and catogorize them for easy access using a print suite. It was created to handle files with names such as 999-88-7777 (like a social security number) and will also handle 999-88-7777-6, the last digit being used to identify the number of ID's the student had issued to him.
RecordSeperator1.1.0 A revision that checks for and removes spaces from within the social security number. This occured because the company that is transfering the old paper records to digital media (.tif) is using an OCR to read the number off of the paper record and name the file with. Because of previous mistakes or current OCR shortcomings, spaces occasionally occur in the file name.
RecordSeperator1.2.0 A revision that improves the speed of the copying process, (the timeout is dropped to .05 seconds per file), and the time estimator is more accurate because it is now based on the number of files and average copying time on a PIII 500MHz processor, rather than simply the length of the timeout.
