Downloaded File Types

Most of the documentation at this site is stored in Portable Document Format (PDF) which requires Adobe Acrobat Reader. This program can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html. Compressed files at the CLIPS web set are stored in several formats: zip (primarily for PC users), sit.hqx (for MacOS users), and tar.Z (for Unix users). If your web browser does not automatically unzip any downloaded zip files, utilities for performing this task can be found at http://www.shareware.com/. Select the appropriate operating system and search for unzip. For sit.hqx files, select Macintosh and search for stuffit-expander. For Unix users, the Unix uncompress and tar commands should be used for extracting files from tar.Z archives.
