There are two different versions of Summary that can run on OS X, 
"Macintosh System 8, 9 and OS X" and "OSX Command Line (Experts Only)".

The "Macintosh System 8, 9 and OS X" version appears to be the one you 
currently have. It is designed to be launched from the Finder, and can 
not be run unless you are logged into the console. This is the one you 
want if you work directly at the machine all the time. It can be launched 
remotely, as long as you are logged in remotely as the same user that is 
currently logged into the console, using a command like:

open "./Summary 2.3.6"

The "OSX Command Line (Experts Only)" is a Darwin application, which 
means that if follows all of the BSD/Unix conventions, and can *only* be 
launched from the command line. It does not require that anyone be logged 
into the console. If you are running a remotely administered server this 
is the one you want to be using.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
