NatSim download options:

[html]   -   leaves the program files and images at the original site. This resolves some copyright

               issues, but won't work off-line.

[zip]     -  for off-line use, attempts to download program and image files, too. You need

               WinZip or a similar application to extract the downloaded file.

[exe]    -  for off-line use, attempts to download program and image files, too. This will

               automatically extract on double click (Windows only).
