I&#39;m sure DePaul was worried people would put their Algorithms 101 class
up on bittorrent and they&#39;d lose 50% of their enrollment.&nbsp;

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.&nbsp; It only pulled the white board information
so any video stuff needed to be played in another application.

California, I need the COL player to function, and the COL folks tell me it
only works in Windows.&nbsp; Grrrr...
