Web Version Software/Network Requirements
The only software items required are a web browser and industry-standard Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Version 6.2 or higher for the structure drawing editor. CAS has provided a downloadable JRE plug-in http://www.cas.org/misc/downloads/jreplugin.html. The Web Version uses standard web network protocols that should not require changes to network firewalls.
