If you are downloading this SHAZAM code for use on your own computer, select "File", then "Save As...", and save on your own diskette (a:) or your own hard drive (c:\) using the same filename p208sh11.sha.

IMPORTANT: you must then use an editor (like TED) to delete all of the HTML code from the top and the bottom of the file, leaving only the SHAZAM code. The line which reads "* SHAZAM code (p208sh11.sha) downloaded from UCLA Policy Studies 208 (CAMERON) WebSite" should be the first line of your edited program file. Save the edited program as sur97.sha
