"   Could someone please tell me if I'm missing something about this?: I found
" the right place, with links for each year's files; but when I click on them,
" instead of going somewhere where I can get those files, my computer just seems
" to slow down to a complete halt, as if it's going to take weeks for the link to
" fully activate. (The coloured bar at the bottom showing progress in going to
" the new place is partly filled in, but stops getting bigger.)
	
	Others have suggested ways to download and unzip.
	Various downloaders, (if you know the address of the
	file to get) from
  #Linkname: Simtel.Net - Keith Petersen's Worldwide Shareware
  #    Distribution Network
  	http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/
  #and
	http://www.tucows.com

	Might be useful
