Abstract

A discussion is given of alterations that were made to a typical university operating system to record the results of programming exercises in three different languages, includeing assembly language. In this computer-controlled grading scheme provision is made for testing with programmer-supplied data and for final runs with system-supplied data. Exercises run under the scheme may be mixed with other programs, and no special recognition of exercises by the operators is necessary.
