How do I download a document (WP, PDF)?

Downloading is easy! Simply click on the icon or link of the document you wish to download. Depending on your Web browser, you will be prompted for what to do with the file. If you're using Microsoft Internet Explorer, you'll get a choice of Open or Save to Disk. If you press Open, your Web browser will try to run the file that downloads, using any default viewers for specific file types. If you press Save to Disk (which is our recommended option), you can choose a directory you wish to save the file to. If you're using Netscape Navigator, you will simply be prompted for a directory to save the file to.

How do I uncompress a document?

To make downloading faster, most of the files on our site are compressed, meaning that the data has been squeezed together to save space. Before you can view a document, you may need to decompress it. The most common compression format is ZIP, and there are many tools available that can help you extract them. If your are using Windows, we recommend using WinZip.

If you are using a Macintosh, we recommend using ZipIt.

If you are using OS/2, DOS, or other operating system, we recommend using PKZIP.

Another popular compression method is self-extracting EXE. This is a ZIP file that has been specially compressed with the decompression tools built in. You simply double-click the EXE file, and all the compressed files inside will be created on your hard disk.
