Thanks, Corinna.  I'll give it a whirl.

The workplace is pretty fastidious about the procedure by which off-site stuff 
is brought onto the on-site network.  Is "exchanging the DLL" merely 
overwriting the DLL file with the new one?  The import procedure is somewhat 
less arduous than if I have to create a package directory (which I am less 
familiar with for updating rather than installing).
