Enabling Java Web Start Applications for the PC
Depending on the set-up of your computer, there are several things that must
be done in order to run the modules from this site.
Basically, Java needs to be installed, and then there a few clicks you
have to go through to run each module.
These instructions work when using the Microsoft Edge Browser
version 42, using the Windows 10 operating system.

to do with this file, click "Open".
