Downloads

If you have trouble downloading, right click on the file in your web browser and choose "Save File As..." or "Save Target As..." to save the file to your hard drive. Some of these files may be compressed in the .sit (Mac) or .zip (PC) format and must be decompressed before using. Decompression utilites for these files are included on standard installations of the Mac or Windows Operating Systems.

JSM AutoFTP is a small program customers can use to upload their files. It is a standard FTP client, except it's hard-wired to our server, and it works via drag and drop. So you don't have to worry about login, password, or directory information when uploading. To use it, just drag the files onto the AutoFTP icon. It will automatically compress files to protect them, and will notify us when the upload is complete.
