Re: ODD tutorials

Thanks Andreas for debugging this : I should probably have warned 
readers that CETEICEAN works only online and only with recent browsers.  
However, I've taken the liberty of copying your message to the issue 
tracker at https://github.com/TEIC/CETEIcean/issues so that the 
CETEICEAN developers don't forget about this particular backwards 
compatibility problem.

I've also now uploaded static PDF versions of the tutorials for those 
who like to print things out. Be warned though that these are dated 
versions, which will not necessarily reflect the current state of the 
text, since I don't plan to regenerate them every time I make a  minor 
typo correction. Grab them from
