I was contacted by a person who is responsible for a group of 110 VERY non-
techie Mac users, with a problem: when she receives a software update, she
currently needs to physically go to each user's machine and install the new
software (apparently these guys are not very capable of doing this).  What
she wants to know is if there is any installer programs on the market.  She
feels confident she could write scripts to do what she wants; she could put
the "update installer" and the new software on a common network server and
have her users launch it, the installer taking care of everything else.

Is there such a program out there? Any thoughts, suggestions?  A weary Mac 
administrator is hoping there is a solution.

Thanks,

Mark
