[plug] Much more typical MS nonsense

The School of Computing got caught by this - a lecturer for the first
software engineering unit modified the exam paper with the intention of
releasing it as a pactice exam. The changed word doc was duely placed on
the net for all and sundry to download. One student who didn't have word
opened the doc in notepad, removed the crap at the top and bottom of the
file and ended up with the original exam!

The school now uses PDF for all its released files. :)
