RMR Software - FAQ Page
Answer : First I need to explain about "ZIP" files.

It is necessary to keep individual files available, and maintaining redundant copies of these files within archives, or creating them on demand, would not be the best use of available resources.

If your computer is running Windows XP, then you can simply 'right-click' on the zipfile and choose 'Extract Here' from the menu that pops up. Then just 'double-click' the extracted file to open and read (refer to question one for file formats). I'm afraid I don't know whether this method works with Windows 98 or 2000.

This is a tough one but, it's been asked before. When you click on the download link to download a kit or a file you are prompted with a 'save' window.
