DATA FILES (Unzip Information)
[ back to previous window ]  
COPEPOD data files retrieved directly from the online database are compressed with "ZIP" compression and have a ".zip" extension.   These "zip" files contain a single compressed folder what contains multiple files and folders inside of it.   You should unzip/extract the entire COPEPOD zip file "as-is", so it will appear in your folder/directory correctly (i.e. a folder or folders with multiple files in each folder).   Extracting file-by-file or otherwise may create a mess of randomly distributed files.   For example, if you view the ".zip" file (e.g., with WinZip), it may look like a mess of random files.   The files and folders will correctly re-organize themselves during the unzip process.
