I've been a TA at Georgia Tech during this period (9 terms). Cheating in the introductory courses was quite common. They tried approach after approach after approach to deal with it. Eventually some of the classes made the homework something you were supposed to work with people on, made it worth less, and made the grades on in-class things worth more. Around that time period I moved onto the C programming/good software development practices class so can't speak anymore. They had auto-compare tools from 1996 on from what I understand, and definitely had a few students caught in it.
