=) I value my job too highly, I guess.
I think the real threat here is that if I can't get it to work, they'll
just setup a win2k machine to do it instead.

Well, this is an educational thing. It's political: the college *teaches*
web devel in FP, so we're expected to show support for it.
Anyway, I guess I should report that I did finally get it to work, but
only by a) not using MS's compiled binary (duh), b) not using that
pre-built slack pack that comes with FP in it (compiling it myself, in
other words) and c) not using MS's installation script. I found
instructions on somebody's webpage that actually worked quite well.
