FOR STUDENTS PREPARING 171 PROGRAMS ON THEIR OWN PCs -
DIRECTIONS FOR CREATING A HEADER PAGE

When turning in printouts of program listings and computer output which have been printed on a home PC, you must include a separate header page with the papers you turn in. This header page will identify you and the project. The following information is to be included (shown in a sample format):

INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING, 765-171
Spring, 2001
Instructor:  Dr. B. R. Harris

Name:  <your name here>
Section:  <your section number here>
Time due:  <time project due>
Date due:  <date project due>
Current time:  <time header page created>
Current date:  <date header page created>
If you are using a individual sheet-feed printer (laser jet, ink-jet), then put the header page at the front of your work being turned in and paper clip all pages together in order. If you are using a continuous feed printer (dot-matrix with tractor feed capability), do not separate the pages, but simply attach the header page to the front of your work. I have a simple Pascal program called "header.pas" (referred to here as HEADER) which will create this header page for you. You could run HEADER first, create your header page and then load and run your program afterwards. HEADER will prompt you for the needed information when it runs. It is available on the class web page and also is thus down-loadable to your A: disk.
