[nabs] program to help with reading maps

[Dornetta]

Laura,
 I was thinking that I was SOL...but I spoke to my professor and she gave me 
extra time and even granted me a reprieval from the assignment but I wanted 
to exhaust all of my options before I took her up on her offer-you know, 
didn't want to just "give-up" Another student has said that she would help 
me as she has in the past but this time I felt as though because she was 
behind in the assignment, this offer of help was sort of like she was useing 
me instead of helping me. I probably should not asked her to explain the map 
to me (expressing my frustration and the offer from the professor while 
talking about it) and I wouldn't feel like this. Any way, I thank you for at 
least looking at it. :-)
