Professor,

I seem to have gotten QuickSlice to work by doing the voodoo described 
below.  Maybe it can help other students (or maybe instructional support?).

1.  Map the share \\fileservice\cs285\cs285 to a drive (in this case, I 
chose F).  I think you can do this through the tools menu of any 
file-browsing window.

2.  Run this MS-DOS batch file to load up QuickSlice.  It's modified 
from the one in the Bin directory.

@echo off
echo Starting QuickSlice, please wait ....
set QS_BASE=F:\QuickSlice
set QS_PATH=F:\QuickSlice\QS
set QS_VERSION=V6.4
echo Closing this window will end QuickSlice.
F:\QuickSlice\QS\strat %1 %2 %3
if NOT errorlevel == 0 pause

There's a copy of it in my public directory at:
http://scotland.cs.berkeley.edu/cs285/cs285-jschoner/public/qs.bat

It should also be noted that QuickSlice doesnt seem to run very well on 
smaller screen sizes (anything less thant 1280x1024 I think).  At these 
lower resolutions, all of the buttons are not accessible.  The machines 
in 330 have screens that are too small, while those of the machines in 
349 were large enough.
