Visual Studio 2012 is NOT supported in project 3!
September 27, 2012
Project 2 is now due October 4th at 11:59 pm! Also, to make P2 a little less onerous, we've decided to make a slight change to the grading criteria: You do not need to implement a priority queue data structure to implement alarms in project 2 for full credit. You should still implement something better than an unsorted queue (e.g. sorted queue or better), but you do not have to go as far as creating a priority queue structure. Of course, if you have already correctly implemented a priority queue for alarms, you should use it!

Use CMS to submit your project. Only submit source files in a single zip file with the code is placed in an ARCHITECTURE/P1 directory. Replace ARCHITECTURE with PortOSWin or PortOSnix or PortOSX, depending on the operating system you use in the project.
