Zip

You need a zip-compatible decompression program to "unzip" the files. WinZip is a commercial application available for a trial period after which a small fee is charged.

CSV (Comma Separated Values)

A CSV file is the simplest way in which tabular data can be saved for importing spreadsheet applications such as Excel or database applications such as Access. No special reader is required for this format.

RTF (Rich Text Format)

A RTF file is a format that lets you exchange text files between different word processors in different operating systems, for example, a document created in Word 97 on Windows 95, saved as an RTF file, can be opened using WordPerfect 6.0 on Windows.
