I've just done a quick prototype of what the program could look like. You
can get it at http://www.ukc.ac.uk/php/cj7/djinst.zip . It requires the VB 5
runtime files and Internet Explorer installed.
The reason it's a Windows app is this:
* It can download files (a DOS version wouldn't be able to).
* People who need the program are likely to be used to using Windows - Unix
or DOS users can probably install it themselves anyway.
