Hmmm... I wonder if this student assignment program is some sort of
expert system written in something like OPS5? It could be an
interesting project to convert it to something more modern.
It's much more likely that it'd just be replaced with some COTS* stuff
like Banner.
* COTS != cheap off-the-shelf.
