What Is A "ZIP" File?
When working with computer operations which involve several files, such as software installations
or updates, it is frequently necessary to combine the individual files into one file, called an archive,
and to compress the files so that the resulting archive file is smaller in size. Originally this was done
so that all the necessary data would fit onto a floppy disk or installation CD; in recent years it is done
so that if it is necessary to download data from the Internet, the download will take less time.
There are several methods of compressing files; however, the most common is the .ZIP format,
support for which is built into both PC and Mac operating systems. On a PC, the name "compressed
folders" is given to .ZIP files, while Mac OS X 10.3 includes .ZIP file support under the name "Archive
Utility."
10.
After the .ZIP file has finished downloading, go to the directory on your hard drive which
contains the .ZIP file and extract the contents of the file. It is recommended that you allow the
extraction utility to determine the folder which will contain the extracted files.
11.
After the .ZIP file is finished extracting, open the folder which contains the extracted files. You
should see a number of files with the extension, ."SYS."
Wait until the operating system finishes loading
