That would work.

That too.

Or that.  I might have who suggested Komodo saved on my laptop,
but I can't get to it at the moment.  If these would be short,
I guess we could have 2 or 3 20-30 minute presentations.

It looks like we will end up just plugging in some Java FTP
applet.  FTP is really all we need, and the applet part is just
to get around not being able to install anything on the client.
Not at all what I understood the requirements to be at first.
Big surprise!

I doubt that would be a good meeting topic. :)  Thanks for all
the suggestions, though.  I did learn a few things.

    - Ian.
