The first line of the Wikipedia entry for RealPlayer starts:
"RealPlayer (briefly known also as RealOne Player)"
My scanning of the downloads pages shows RealOne editions of
Player date to about 2002. Me thinks your course requirements
description is a bit out of date.
RealPlayer 11 is available for LINUX as is Adobe Reader.
