Frequently Asked Questions:

• Where are the data files?

  Go to the Datasets tab, and choose the Download subtab
  The underlined links in the tables are .zip files.

• I can't seem to unzip the files - what's wrong?

  Each .txt file was compressed into a corresponding .zip file using the Linux utility zip.
  Using Winzip (Windows) or unzip (Linux) should work. gunzip or bunzip2 will not work.
