The basic concept is simple

    ZIP a file = compress the file contents so that it is smaller and quicker to send over the internet.

    UnZIP a file = after receiving a ZIPed file you open and expand it to its original configuration.

If you receive a "zipped" or "compressed" file in your email, you will not be able to read it until it is "unzipped" or "decompressed."  This requires a software program that will do all the work.

"Self-executable" unzipping -

• A file is "self-executable" when the file you received will open and decompress itself if you use the RUN commands in the START MENU or double click on the compressed file icon.
• Click on the START MENU button in the lower left hand corner of your screen on the TASK BAR.  [See Taskbar instructions]
• Go to the RUN command and click to get the RUN window.
• BROWSE your directories to locate the file you want to open.
• Double click on the file name to have it placed in the RUN command window.
• Click to RUN the file opening sequence.
