Several of you have experienced this, so I thought it would be useful to send
this to the whole class.  There are two possibilities why this is happening.

First, if you see a green check, AND the file you submitted is the file the
Lab Instructions required (in this case, sort.asm), you can relax.  The system 
has accepted your program.

If you do not see a green check, then the system has not accepted your program.
In that case, please read the instructions carefully and try again.  If that
still does not work, please see one of the TAs.

If you see a green check, but the online verification site is blank, then 
there are two possibilities:

1. Most likely, you did not hit refresh and so your browser is giving old 
information.

2. Some browsers do not properly refresh when you hit *refresh*.  In this case,
you can force your browser to refresh by holding CTRL while typing F5 if you
are using a PC, or holding COMMAND while typing F5 if you are using a mac.

Hope this helps.

Good luck finishing the lab by Sunday night at 11:59pm.
