Zip Files
Got a file with a ".zip" extension? That's an archive containing one or more compressed files (to save space and time when downloading). To see the individual files you need to unzip the archive. One tool (program) you can use to do this with is PkUnZip. You can download it from the list below. This version of PkUnZip is a DOS program. You can get a trial copy of the windows version at the PkWare site. There are other programs that will unzip archives as well -ZipGenius, WinZip, WinRAR...PDF Files
