I didn't mean to imply that it needed to be fully automated.  However, a
high school kid getting bored out of his skull is going to start making
mistakes.  I think you want enough automation in the process so that it's
hard to accidentally skip steps or skip missing problems.  I had originally
asked because it looked possible that my ProProg production programmer may
be useful in this situation, but it looks like Neil doesn't want to discuss
his production setup anyway.
