Please Read the Following
Some files are listed in a self-extracting zip format <filename.exe>. These are compressed files that must be unzipped (uncompressed). The unzipped file is the one you will use. Select the file you wish to download by placing your pointer over the file name and double-click with your left mouse button. Save the file to a directory that you select. Open Windows File Manager or Windows Explorer. Go to the directory in which you placed the file. Find the file name that you saved. You must expand the contents of this file. Place your pointer over the file name and double-click with your left mouse button. This will open the file. Press the F5 function key on your keyboard. This will "refresh" your file listing. Your new file will now be listed. Your new file is ready for use!
Once the files have been uncompressed, these document files will be in one of the following formats.
.pdf (personal document file) which is viewable with the Adobe Acrobat Reader
.dbf (database) which will import into most database programs
.txt (delimited text) which will import into most spread sheet programs
.wpd (WordPerfect document) which is viewable with Wordperfect 6.1 or later or Word 97 or later
You will need an Adobe Acrobat Reader to use the .pdf formatted files. In the future, you will see us convert most of our document files to the Acrobat format. We are doing this so that pc and Mac systems have access to the files. If you haven't already installed the reader to your computer, you can push the "Get Acrobat Reader" button below to go to the Adobe download site. Once at their site follow the directions for your specific type of computer. Files that are formatted as a .pdf file will be indicated by this symbol
