[seul-edu] Grade input software

[Bill Tihen -- TECHNOLOGY <bill@mail.tasis.ch>]

I have started planning the interface to simplify the
grade input into our school database.  However, the
headmaster thinks that 6 computers isn't enough for all
40 faculty to enter the grades and wants the new
interface to work on people's laptops and on the
network.  I thought a little cgi would be the easiest
way to do this, but that won't work if I have to have it
run independantly on people's home computers.  

Any ideas on how to solve this?  Perl/TK, Python/TK,
Java, Oracle 8i light -- any other ideas?  The worse
part is how will I handle spell checking on the variety
of platforms?  (It will need to run on Macs and Windows
of many various ages).

Thanks for your ideas.

Bill
