Are you asking this here and not over on ZDNET?

To make them smaller and faster to download they come as a Zipped File.

In this particular case the Link tot he Download site appears to be broken so maybe if you want this particular file you should consider reporting this to the Web Masters at ZD Net. Through the Site Help and Feedback link on the bottom of the page or through the [i]Is this item miscategorized? Let us know.[/i] towards the top of the page in the pane about the program. Or in the Pane below that where it shows you how to report a broken Link and asks for your E-Mail so I assume you can be directed to the correct download site or maybe an alternative download site.

If you really want this particular application did you consider goggling it?

look here

Though apparently you need to not use the Authors Site because this isn't in English. So apparently ZDNet links to the Authors Site not alternative Download Sites that are in English. Remember that not everyone in the world lives in a English Speaking Country. ;)

I've just downloaded & unzipped it without any problems and here is the Text File that comes with it.
