We do not recommend viewing zipped files or self-extracting files.
Downloading data files in the compressed format (designated by
the extension
.zip
or .exe) will significantly
reduce download times. To uncompress and download, while using
either Internet Explorer or Netscape®, right-click to bring
up a menu. Then, left -click on "Save Target As" or "Save Link

the directions of your zip file utility to download the file.
Compressed files greatly
reduce download times. Files in zipped format can
be uncompressed using a zip utility (see below). Files in self-extracting
format have Windows® zip utility software built in; the data
may be uncompressed by running (i.e., double-clicking) the downloaded
executable.
If you
do not have a zip file utility already installed on your computer,
there are many vendors on the Internet who can provide zip file
format utilities for Windows®, Mac®, Linux, and Unix.
