That would all depend on your computers permitions. If you have a firewall or ad-be-gone type software running you may want to disable it while you are trying to DL the software. http://www.sillub.com has no spyware or ad ware on it so you will be safe getting XtrkCAD. As for what can you use without downloading anything... well I dont think there is one out there. But then again it may just be that I dont know of one. Hope that helps.

If your security restriction dont allow you to download software then you probably cant install software either. You would be better off using a friends or family member's computer at their home. You could offer to buy pizza and beer or what ever the equivalent is in England

There is a way to make this happen... I can detail the steps in an email for you if you'd like.

I can also download the RTS 7.0 and send that along in a zip file so that it makes it through you virus protection and firewall.

Let em know...
