Roster Example Programs From CS 330

The university provides a mechansim for faculty to build rosters for their courses in a form that can be put in a spreadsheet to be used as a grade book. However, the Name field is if the form:
LastName, FirstName I
I would rather have the names in separate fields. I also want each student's username on our department Linux system rather than their university email address.

Rather than editting the fields in the spreadsheet, I wrote a program. I thought about which language would be most suitable for this task. My first choice was perl, but I don't know it very well. My second choice was SNOBOL which I can use well enough. A fellow faculty member provided a perl version. Thank you, Gary.

The specifications of the problem and the two programs are:
