- Click on the download link to download a zipped file of the data type selected.
- Double click on the downloaded archives if they didn't open automatically.
- If the format is not recognized, the following applications can be used to unzip them:
• Macintosh - Archive Utility, Unarchiver,...
• Windows - WinZip
• Unix, Linux - unzip (note: gunzip will not work with these files)
- Depending on how your operating system preferences are set, you may need to open unzipped ascii files (i.e., filenames ending in .dat) with the appropriate application rather than by double-clicking them directly.
