ABOUT ZIP FILES
Many of these raw text and Excel data files are very large and take a long time to download. To reduce download time, the files have been compressed in the ZIP format. Once you download a file, you will need to unzip it (extract the data) using a zip file utility such as WinZip , FreeZip , or PKZIP . Please note that we do not provide technical support for these ZIP file utilities.

Text Format ZIP Files
Once you have unzipped a Text Format file on your PC, you can open and print the data with most any word processing or text editing program. Use a non-proportional spaced font such as Courier. To sort, filter, or really manipulate the data, you will need to use a standard, database-aware software package. These types of programs are readily available and a few of the more common ones are Microsoft’s Access or Excel, FoxPro, Borland’s Paradox, and Lotus 123.
When you select and click on a ZIP file in the folders below, a dialog box should ask you if you want to Open the File? or Save It to Disk? Select Save It to Disk? and remember where you save the file so you can find it later.

Excel Spreadsheet Format ZIP File
You must have a version of the Excel program installed on your PC. When you select and click on an Excel Format ZIP in the directory below, a dialog box should ask you if you want to Open the File? or Save It to Disk?. Select Save It to Disk? and remember where you save the file so you can find it later.
