37:
38: Set of functions that download and process student information.

59: =head1 DOWNLOAD INFORMATION
60:
61: This section contains all the files that get data from other servers
62: and/or itself. There is one function that has a call to get remote
63: information but isn't included here which is ProcessTopLevelMap. The
64: usage was small enough to be ignored, but that portion may be moved
65: here in the future.

75: Collects lastname, generation, middlename, firstname, PID, and section for each
76: student from their environment database. The list of students is built from
77: collecting a classlist for the course that is to be displayed.

82:
83: $courseID: The id of the course

85: $c: The connection class that can determine if the browser has aborted. It
86: is used to short circuit this function so that it doesn't continue to
87: get information when there is no need.

89: Output: \%classlist
90:
91: \%classlist: A pointer to a hash containing the following data:
