Re: [Paddlewise] Download Kayak Design Program

You can set it up a couple of ways. You can establish a ftp bin and leave
it in there for people to get in both formats. I would use a compression
program like Zipit (.zip) which is cross-platform to make sure it
downloads in one piece.

For Microsoft files like Excel, you can have the file as a clickable link.
It needs to have the standard Excel extension which I can't remember off
the top of my head. (.exl or ?) 

When people click on it it shows up as a a spreadsheet, esp. if they have
Excel installed on their machine. It might work better with Windows.

I can do some actual research if you want, but I'd go with  the ftp
option. Some compressions programs will bundle the info in a way that the
file uncompresses when you double click, so you don't need the compression
program on your computer.

You can find shareware programs like Zipit and a ton of other stuff at
