What do I do with this zip file and what is it?
Zip
WinZip is a widely used compression program that allows files to be compressed for downloading over the internet. We use this file format when storing templates for Report Generators and the Data Import on this site. You will need to extract the files inside the '.zip' file before you can use them.
Windows XP explorer already supports the compression and decompression of '.zip' files so if you have Windows XP you can use your explorer. If you have a version of Windows before XP (95, 98, Me, NT, NT2000) then you should install a copy of WinZip. This can be downloaded from various shareware archives on the Internet.
File Extraction
Using either Windows XP explorer or WinZip extract the files inside your zip file to a location on your machine. These files can now be used by Platinum, if you are extracting template files for importing into the Report Generators or Data Import we would suggest you extract them to your 'sxco1' folder (This can be found inside the sx folder, for example 'c:\sx\sxco1' or 'f: \sx\sxco1’' this will allow you to find them easily when you are importing these files into the Platinum Report Generator or Data Import.
