Standards
Our pages employ current web standards such as XHTML and CSS, but should still function well in recent non-standards compliant browsers. Browsers two or more major revisions older than the current version may not support these standards; if you’re still using e.g. Netscape 4.7 or IE 5.2 Mac, you should really upgrade to a more modern browser.
Where available our pages also make use of JavaScript in places; however, JavaScript support is not required to use the site.
Data Formats
Microsoft Word
To access Microsoft Word files, you will need either the full version of Microsoft Word (part of Microsoft Office), MS Word Viewer or Open Office on your computer. You can download a free copy of MS Word Viewer from the Microsoft website.
If your platform does not natively support PDF, you will need special software in order to read certain file downloads on this website. For Windows users we recommend Adobe Reader, Nitro, Foxit or eXpert Readers. These programs are also available for many desktop Linux distributions, but xpdf is probably already in your distro’s package management system.
