Working with publication file types.Texas state agencies publish in a variety of file types. While html files are the most common, there are many others. This information will help you in using those files. File readersSome files require software in addition to your web browser. This may be software that you will have to purchase. In some cases, however, there are free viewers. The links below will assist you in these viewers. Note these links are to resources outside of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission web site.
GIS dataTNRIS has a helpful page on working with GIS and data compression. Compressed and zipped filesFiles may also be compressed. The two main filetypes you will encounter for this are called "executables" (.exe) and "zipped" (.zip) although there are others. To work with executables: 1. Save the file locally.
2. Run the executable
3. Use the file
Zip filesZip files (.zip) will require you to use a program developed to unzip (or unpack) the file. There are many freeware and shareware programs developed for this. One of the free software packages that is available for many different computers is Un-Zip. Use the program of your choice to open the file. Some of these programs will also do all of the installation work as well. Otherwise, you may need to run an executable (see above) after unzipping the program. |
