	We've recently started using a package called COLLEAGUE,  which
the Registrar's office likes for reporting on scheduling conflicts and for
trying to put too many students into a given classroom.  For that, it works
adequately, but they say they still do the scheduling "on paper" first.

	It fails to meet what I think is being requested.  In fact, since
it's a very recent port to VMS/DCL from UNIX, it fails to entirely satisfy
us on several points.  You could certainly wish for a more flexible approach
by the designers.  I could discuss it with interested parties from the
VAX/VMS world who are considering changing their admin database management...

	The Registrar's Office asserts they've never seen room scheduling
software that was any improvement over paper and pencil.  I'm now interested
in the outcome of this conversation on their behalf...the ideal platforms
would be DOS and/or VAX/VMS, but we could move them to Macs if somebody out
there could share a success story.  Since licensing costs can be staggering
a micro-based app would seem superior.
