Line-end geometry?

Is the line geometry significant, or are you really just drawing
line-arrow symbols at point locations?  

If it is the latter case, you could create a point shapefile and then
label the points with an existing (or one that you create) TrueType font
character that is a line with an arrow tip.  Use LABELANGLEITEM to point
the arrow in the right direction.

I have a layer with line data.

I want to draw the lines with arrow-heads at one end.

The data represents short line segments that point at certain locations
- my customer wants them to draw like little arrows.

What's the easiest way of doing this?  (Recognizing that I can't modify
the underlying data.)
