There are a few anti-virus programs around that give you the option
of "protecting" all files, not just .exe files. The way they "protect"
or "immunize" is to calculate some sort of CRC on the file and warn
you if it's changed since you last accessed it. Would this be enough?

I'm talking of PCs of course.

The Association for Computing Machinery has a special interest group on
computer science education (ACM SIGSCE). It holds conferences. Past
conferences have included presentations on plagiarism detectors. Try
Communications of the ACM for information about the SIG. There's also a
journal, Computer Science Education. A librarian should be able to
locate the editor's location.

There was a company exhibiting at the 1990 MLA in Chicago specifically
on their combined computer & human team approach to solving plagiarism
cases for universities, etc. There have been a few newspaper articles
about them, such as in the _Chronicle..._. This may be worth
following up.

TLG is not available for copying, or even for purchase. It is available
only on CD-ROM, by leasing from the
TLG Project
University of California Irvine
Irvine, CA 92717
Tel. (714) 856-7031
FAX (714) 856-8434
The current price for leasing is 300 dollars for an individual, 500
dollars for an institutional license; the license is good for five
years. HOWEVER, their latest newsletter notifies me that they are
raising their prices, so that orders postmarked after December 1st
will cost 500 dollars for an individual, 850 for an institutional
license. Licensing period will still be five years. All licensees
must sign a contract not to copy it or make it available on a net-
work, a policy only reasonable for a project that has involved two
decades of pioneering and non-profit work.
