To download, double click on the file of your choice. A pop-up window will allow you to save the file to a folder of your choice on your computer.

OPEN FILE

To save space and reduce transfer time, we have COMPRESSED all files. You will need to uncompress the files before you can work with them. We have compressed the files using the "zip" program. A commun unzip utility for Windows is WinZip, which you can download from the web. If you don't already have WinZip installed, follow this link to install WinZip on your computer:

FILE EXTENSIONS

Because most files have been compressed, their name extensions have changed. Below is a chart of the corresponding extension names for compressed and uncompressed files:
