Once you double-click on a zip file to access its contents, a folder window that appears listing the contents of the zip file. Even though it appears as though you have extracted the files, in fact they are still zipped and may not be truly accessible until you extract all of the files.

The standard extraction variable for counties is FIPS (federal information processing standard) codes. FIPS codes are 5-digit numbers assigned to each county, with the first two digits unique to each state and three unique digits assigned to the county. Click here to find a list of FIPS codes. This site also provides population counts for each county.

Are you using StuffIt Expander with DSEE as your uudecode helper? Try uuUndo instead -- it does a better job with some of the uuencode formats commonly found on Usenet. Stuffit Expander can also get confused by the way that MT-NewsWatcher uniquifies file names to avoid duplicates (e.g. it will call a file NicePicture-1.gif). Stuffit sometimes thinks that the numerals on the end of the file name indicate that this is a multipart Stuffit archive.

Answer: It is true that some users might be able to double click on the downloaded files, and your SAS software will extract and save them as temporary WORK files automatically.

EPFaxAPI provides the tools with which you can create an application which can extract information from an input file, and return information to the converter. The API function convertFileEx4() enables you to extract unformatted text information from a file. This information may be used to determine the disposition of a part of the input file. We do not provide sample code for any such OEM applications.

The following answer is taken vertabim from the FAQ at the Front for the Mathematics ArXiv http://front.math.ucdavis.edu/ifaq#3.3; check there for updates. You can usually reduce or eliminate Postscript bloat if you understand your Postscript. Computers cannot understand Postscript well enough to do it automatically, because Postscript, like TeX, is a full-fledged programming language.

Usenet is a collection of newsgroups. Newsgroups are discussion forums. Often Usenet refers only to the "Big Eight" hierarchies: comp, humanities, misc, news, rec, sci, soc, and talk. While k12.ed.math is a newsgroup in the k12 hierarchy, it still operates by the usual Usenet conventions and is transported through the same network systems. So, for all practical purposes, it is part of Usenet. A newsgroup is not a mailing list or a listserve.

PostScript is a Page Description Language (PDL) - in other words, the PostScript code described everything you see printed on the page including graphics, text and layout.

Another PDL is called Hewlett-Packard Print Command Language (HP-PCL).

When the file is searched for numeric data without success, there may be a problem with drivers downloading characters with an offset from their actual ASCII value. The following example illustrates how you can accommodate this: A PCL file's numeric data has an offset of 3. In order to search for or extract the number "2000/08/14" that appears at the beginning of the page, enter the string as "533323;247" ,i.e. add 3 to the ASCII value.

Any files within our pages ends with an extension of .EXE, it is a self extracting file, you do not need an unzip program to extract it. To start the self extracting process after downloading a file, copy or move the .EXE file to an empty directory and double click on its filename and it will automatically extract its files into the same directory.
