Fall 1998, versions v0.01 - v0.39

Preliminary test results in Fall 1998 were convincing enough to take our solution to Housing Management:

The final data run through the same objective function as all our subsequent tests, ended with a global score of 199,091,532 with 438 perfect grades, and 81.4% satisfaction. This was based on multiple weekly iterations, new and returning students in separate initial runs, manual roommate corrections for returning students, and blocked halls and desireable rooms to stage placements. With a score almost three times that of our test results, room for improvement was apparent.
