Files received from the Internet (as e-mail attachments or downloads) are usually in a form which requires decoding or decompressing by different software applications (depending upon the platform). To aid users in dealing with such files we have provided the links to the most popular archiving/coding programs used on each of the most widely-used operating systems (Macintosh, PC/DOS, Unix, VAX/VMS).
A "?" in the Table indicates that, as we are unfamiliar with the product, we are unable to provide indications as to where to find it.
To download each of the applications, one need only click on its underlined name in the following list:
