Thanks for all the help. I just don't think any of the approaches I've
found so far is practical for my students - there's now way most of
them could even operate a command line tool. And I shudder at the
hassle of getting out IT people to install software on the machines in
our Mac lab. We'll just have to get them to check this stuff on a
Windows box when necessary.
Thanks again for all the help, everyone.
