The material at this site can be downloaded to your machines as an archive. This is available in two formats: a UNIX tar archive, and as a DOS LHA archive. There is no Macintosh archive, as I do not have a license for the software.

Downloading Instructions

1. Create a directory into which you want to place these example documents, for example C:\HTMLBK2.

2. Determine the archive you want and select the link. Your browser should prompt you to save the file to disk. Save it to the directory you created in step 1. If you browser does not prompt you to save the file to disk, you should check your helper applications menu. The PC file is served out as MIME type application/octet-stream. Your browser should be configured to save files of this type to disk.
Here is a list of the available archives:

UNIX Archives
archive.tar -- Tar archive    (xxxxx bytes)
archive.tar.gz -- Gnu zipped tar archive    (xxxxx bytes)
archive.tar.Z -- Compressed tar archive)    (xxxxx bytes)

PC LHA Archives
archive.exe -- LHA self-extracting archive    (xxxxx bytes) (sorry -- not yet ready)

3. Expand the Archive by the method appropriate to your system. On a PC, you need simply run the downloaded archive. The file name is archive.exe, and running this program will produce the desired collection of files and directories. On a UNIX machine, you use the unix uncompress or gunzip commands to decompress the file, followed by tar to expand the archive.
