Files on this web site with the EXE
extension (last 3 letters of the filename) have been compressed to a small
self-extracting (or self-installing) program file to speed downloading from
the internet. You only need to download the file (specify the filename and
location on your computer when prompted) and then run it. Everything you
need to install and use the file or application is included.
After you download a self-extracting file to your computer, you
must extract it (un-compress it) by running the file that you
downloaded.
How to
Download the Files:
- After clicking a download link , you will be asked
what to do with the file. Click the SAVE
button to save the file
onto your hard drive.
- When the Save As dialog appears, select a folder on your
hard drive. Note the folder and file name so you can
later locate the file and run it. It is
best to use an empty
folder on your system.
After Downloading, begin self-extraction:
Option 1: Run the EXE file you downloaded by double-clicking on the file
name using Windows Explorer.
Option 2: Run the EXE file you downloaded by selecting the
Windows Start button - Run item.
Once the self-extraction program has started, depending on the type
of file, you will be:
Asked for the name of the folder on your hard drive where you would
like to place the un-compressed file. Type the name of the folder in the
dialog box. The self-extraction program will then un-compress the file
and place it into the folder you specified.
or:
An Application Setup Program will begin running to allow you to
install a complete application on your hard drive. Follow the Setup
program instructions.
How to use Zipped files
Files with the ZIP extension have been compressed to a small file size
using the PKZIP utility. Once you download a zipped file, you must use a
third-party utility program that will un-zip the file. You should see the
documentation for the utility program for detailed instructions.
There are many utility programs available that will un-zip files. You can
find a listing of possibilities at
http://www.shareware.com. Search for PKZIP. All the files on this site
were made using the WINZIP utility
