I'll give it a shot. But I'm pretty sure that's probably what AOL did. The
colleges administrative staff wanted to make the schools web site completely
web friendly by making it AOL compatible. As you can tell these are not the
most web savvy of folks. The school district on the other hand ran their
web based instruction for a month and then issued an instructions sheet with
a list of local ISP's that would work with their system. We would like to
keep both happy if possible.

virus definitions until after the damage was done. It's great for known
viruses (virii??) but useless against a brand new one. I'd talk to the
school administration and see if they don't agree that making them zip the
files before attaching is worth it.
