Zip File -

A zip file is basically a "package" of one or more compressed files. If you download a lot of software, you'll run across these all the time.

They are not difficult to work with. You'll need an "unzipping" program in order to access them, something like Winzip is a good choice.

Once unzipped, you simply run the install program (if there is one) and you're all set. In fact, Winzip will automatically run the installation program for you if it finds one!

You can download Winzip from:

http://www.winzip.com

It is a shareware program, so if you use it you should pay for it. It doesn't have an expiration though, so you can "evaluate" it for as long as you like.
