[DLC] COL on Linux?

[EJ Finneran]

Since, as far as I know, it requires Windows Media DRM, it can never be
truly supported on anything other than Windows.  Brilliant right?  I'm sure
DePaul was worried people would put their Algorithms 101 class up on
bittorrent and they'd lose 50% of their enrollment.

"I have a degree in Computer Science from the Pirate Bay"

Anyway...

The short answer is not really, but perhaps the group could reverse engineer
COL and write a better player.

A few years ago I was able to grab the Jar and get a version of COL that
pulled content from the local disk to run in Linux.  It only pulled the
white board information so any video stuff needed to be played in another
application.

I would grab the COL Jar from the site and pull it apart and start poking
around. See what you can find out.

Good luck,
EJ
