The EXE and HQX file you download is a “self-extracting archive.” Qmags certifies each file is virus free. This archive contains the magazine PDF file, any supplement that might be sent with the magazine, plus any video clips linked to the magazine. It also compresses the files. There is no need to download multiple files, they’re all in the EXE package, downloadable with one click. Simply double-clicking on the archive file expands it into the PDF and its associated files and places the files in the Qmags folder on your hard drive. This insures you get the entire publication every time, without the need for additional software to decompress the files.
