The ScaleListMIN XFCN takes a delimited list of values, removes the
lowest values and returns:
a) The "average" of the remaining items.
b) The original list with the lowest values removed.
The user decides how many values to remove from the original list and
defines the "item delimiter."
This external is most useful in grade or score-keeping applications where
you wish to figure a scaled or curved note. For example, if, in a given
course, only the top 30 of 35 homework scores were to be included in a
final grade, ScaleListMIN would automatically drop the 5 lowest scores and
return an adjusted average. This external is provided as "AnyWare." That
is, if you use it, please let me know by sending "Anything" you have
cluttering up your desktop: a poem you've written, a picture of your dog,
a program you've developed, money, a postcard from your hometown etc. -
just something to let me know that these programs are being used and that
they're not gathering cyberdust in a virtual warehouse somewhere. (Please
don't send any Republican Presidential Candidates though. The 30 or 40 here
in Iowa already should see me through!)
Any commercial use of ScaleListMIN must be approved and licensed by the
