When you click on the course data link, select “save” from the dialog box that appears.
You can choose any location to save the file to, I’m going to choose the desktop for this example.
When I go and find the file, I can unzip it by right clicking and selecting “Extract to” (this is using QZip. If you’re using WinZip, a WinZip menu will appear here; one of its options is “Extract to” also.
Windows XP also has a default file compression/ extraction utility. You can access it by selecting “Open with” and “Compressed (zipped) folders”
In the window that pops up, select “Extract all Files” and follow the wizard. (It will create a folder with all the files in the same location as the original zip file.)
However you do the extraction, you should get a folder that looks like the one below. You’ll want to copy and paste the address in as the quoted text in the libname statement. Copy this into your libname statement
Sometimes Windows XP is configured not to show the address bar. If this is true on your computer you can get it by selecting “Address Bar” from the Toolbars section of the View menu.
So my libname statement would look like this, yours will be similar but with whatever path you paste inside the quotes. Put that path you copied into the quotes in the libname statement
