Run DOS Remake
Use classic menu and prompt flow to manage up to 10 in-session records.
Commands: 1-8 menu options, Y/N confirmations, LOAD/SAVE controls, RESET to restart.
P5CBF.EXE - GradeMaker (1995)
DOS Roots Lab
GradeMaker, Rebuilt from 1995
The largest of the early Pascal projects: a menu-driven grade manager with array operations, statistics, search/edit logic, and file load/save behavior.
Original Program Intent
P5CBF.PAS represents a major complexity jump: arrays, menu loops,
search/edit routines, and file-oriented workflow.
It shows early thinking about structured data operations and multi-step user interaction.
Original Pascal Logic
1) Array Declarations
type
NamesArray = array [1..10] of String20;
GradesArray = array [1..10] of integer;2) Main Menu Options
1. Load names and grades
2. Enter names and grades
3. Display chart
4. Display statistics
5. Search/edit by name
6. Search/edit by grade
7. Save to file
8. Quit3) Statistics Pattern
Max := FindMax(Grades);
Min := FindMin(Grades);
Range := Max - Min;
Average := Sum / Count;View longer 1995 source excerpt

What Stayed True
- Core 8-option menu loop and branching feature model.
- Array-style record handling and stats/search concepts.
- File import/export remains part of the program story.
What Changed for Web
- Disk operations are emulated via browser load/download actions.
- Input checks provide cleaner guardrails during entry/edit steps.
- Session state lives client-side and resets instantly on command.
