Submitting Files for Schedule Viewing

You will need to submit three plain text files: courses.txt, grid.txt, and settings.txt as explained below. (If you prepare any of them using Microsoft Word, then use "Save As..." under the "File" menu, and then use the pull down menu for "Save as type" to save as plain text. Similarly, other formats, e.g., .xls, should be converted to plain text.) Once your three files are ready, you can proceed to the upload page.

• courses.txt: Your course data. This is where you need to do the most work, but it is straightforward as per these course data preparation instructions.
• grid.txt: Your specification of where to draw guidelines and time labels in the grid. This is extremely simple as per these grid data preparation instructions. (You may even be able to just download a grid to use without modification.)
• settings.txt: Your specification of color, typesize, and typeface customizations. You can actually submit an empty file if you want everything black, roman, and in default sizes. Otherwise, the adventurous user can work off of these detailed customization examples and explanations. If you are less adventurous, you can go to the quick customization page. to download the closest match to what you want and then just do simple modifications as suggested afterwards. You should also feel free to email me (rig at cs.luc.edu) to describe what customizations you would like, and I'll try to prepare a customization file for you promptly. It would be helpful if you first make your best effort at uploading your three files so that I'll be able to check that I'm accomplishing what you ask for.

Again, once your three files are ready, you can proceed to the upload page.
