This program is implemented in C++.

* Important note : 
    The program is compiled and tested under
    Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. I didn't tested
    it under g++. In my experience, there are
    some tiny difference between the two. Therefore,
    if you want to test it under g++, please contact
    me so I can make change for you.

The input file includes necessary information about the number of patient and their locations, the number of nurse and their locations, and maximum number of patients a nurse can serve 1 day.

The 4 sample input file: info1.txt, info2.txt, info3.txt, info4.txt
are correspond to 4 problems in the project. If you want to create your
own input file, please follow the format shown in format.txt.

The output file includes the final schedule of each assigned nurse. Each 
time slot includes name, start time, end time, start location, and end 
location. 

The 4 sample outfile: schedule1.txt, schedule2.txt, schedule3.txt, schedule4.txt are results of 4 problems in the project, respectively.

To run the program, say, test problem1, type the following in the command line. (I type it under windows's Command Prompt)

> HTSA info1.txt schedule1.txt

Note that you must give the file name of input file and output file.
