Sorry for sending this mail to so many groups, but we have somewhat of
an emergency here.
"We" are the Course Evaluation Guide, a student group at MIT
(Cambridge, MA). We take students' end-of-term survey forms and bubble
forms, process them, and print a 200+ page book. We are about one week
from deadline, and we need help soon!
Here's the problem:
We bought a new bubble form scanning machine (the OpScan 5, made by
National Computer Systems) which is supposed to be compatible with the
old one we had (Sentry 3000, by NCS). The standard NCS scanner
software can deal with both systems, but we have custom-written
software which we just found out is not robust enough to just go in
and change a few of the parameters.
What we need:
- Somebody in the New England area to lend us a Sentry 3000 for a few
days. We will drive there and bring it back.
- An object-oriented C programmer in the MIT area who is willing to
help us find a solution to this problem. This will probably require
very short-term, intense programming. We can pay this person, but
probably not nearly as much as you would get in the Real World.
- Any other suggestions...
Please reply soon.
