What do you mean by grades curving?

This sounds like a very simple program

i don't know if any exists, but all you'd need to do is read in all the grades, determine a scale, and then recalculate the grades using that scale. Teachers do it every day, if you're not one, ask one how they do it, else you should be aquianted with the method.

ok, well, I don't have time to write programs for everybody. There are programs out there that do just this, and you can even find charts that map pre-curved grades to curved-grades. Do you know any programming?

Will you be assigning grades based on the number of standard deviations from the average (assuming normal distribution of grades) or some other algorithm?
Are the numbers in a text file separated by white space? What output do you want? I wrote a similar program for class where the maximum and minimum were calculated grades were assigned based on standard deviations from the average.
