[Xerte] problem importing xerte scorm package into moodle

i'm surprised - but i do understand what you are suggesting - however this
level of coding/config is out of the question (even if i could challenge my
little brain to do it) because the company involved has no-one who would
then be able to take this over to continue.

we need something which just works within moodle without custom coding  -
while course template level customisations would have been ok individual
customisations/coding on courses would be prohibtive - if that makes sense

>>
>> many thanks
