[Year 12 SofDev] cases21

[Jack Matthews]

I tried using CASES21 at my last school also for the entire timetable.  I 
agree, it is nasty.  It is possible to use if for class lists, however, I 
would not recommend it.  You also have the school office staff to deal with 
which is another hurdle in itself.

good luck
