I use Linux and have been informed by the CILS that their platform has 
been designed for Windows clients only. This message from Sylvia reveals 
that it may be even more restrictive -- only recent versions of Windows 
may work with CILS's documents? The point is they use a proprietary 
mechanism embedded in the documents to enforce IPR (documents are 
timed), which works only with Windows-based programs.
