How do I use a ZIP file?

The Ultimate TI Calculator FAQ - Introduction
This is an FAQ about calculators, not the basics of computers, so I won't write much on this. Essentially, a ZIP file is a collection of other files in compressed form. You need an 'unzip' program to be able to extract the contents of these files. For Windows, I would recommend using 7-Zip. For the Macintosh I think 'StuffIt Expander' is normally used. If you use Linux, your Linux distribution almost certainly includes 'zip' and 'unzip' programs as this is a widely used file format. See similar questions...

I can't seem to download the product ZIP file. What's wrong?

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
The best way to download any ZIP in an HTTP link as ours are is to right-click on the download link, and select "Save Target As" and then save the file to your hard drive, rather than select "Open from it's current location", using Internet Explorer.

There are so many files in .... Can I get a zip file or a tar archive of it?

Frequently Asked Questions about PhysioNet
You can try looking for a .zip or a .tar.gz archive in the directory that contains the files of interest, or in its parent directory. If you don't find one, however, the answer is no. 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. There are excellent alternatives, however, to downloading many files one at a time using a web browser. See similar questions...
