What program do I need to view the files?
Documents are in Adobe PDF format for cross platform compatibility. Files require the latest version of the official Free Acrobat Reader to open them.
If you get a blank document or an encryption error opening a file please download the latest free version of Acrobat reader for your operating system.
Why does my download not start?
The site has been tested working in IE6 (or newer) and Firefox 3 (or newer) in Windows XP and Vista. Other browsers are not supported.
If your download doesn't start or you get an unauthorised message it is most likely your browser is blocking referrer information. If you are using an aftermarket firewall/anti-virus/privacy program that blocks referrer information you may need to temporarily disable it or add this site to the exceptions list to start the download.
