   This program reads floating point GPAs (0.00 to 4.00) from the keyboard
   and writes them to the gradefile.txt text file, one per line.  The numbers
   should be entered one at a time, as prompted.  The numbers are written to
   the file with exactly 2 decimal places.  Use CTRL z to end data input
   when using Visual C++ on a PC.  You may need to press ENTER a couple
   of times.  However, this must be changed to using CTRL d when using g++
   under Linux, as CTRL d is the Unix/Linux end of file.

   Tested with:
      Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
      Microsoft Visual C++ .NET
      g++ under Linux
