All of the files are zipped.  You will need a program such as WinZip (Windows) or GNU unzip (Linux/UNIX) to unzip them.  These are the different kinds of files available for download:

ISO image: Bootable .iso CD-ROM image file which includes the full Visopsys distribution, and all source code.  You can burn the ISO file to a CD-ROM, or use it directly with an emulator such as VMware or Virtual PC(Available with versions 0.33 and newer)

 

Floppy disk
image:
Bootable .img file which includes a minimal Visopsys distribution.  It can be written to a 1.44 Mb floppy disk, or used with an emulator as above.  Windows users will need a program such as rawwritewin (203K) to write the floppy image to a disk.  Linux/UNIX users can use the built-in 'cat' or 'dd' commands.

 

Source code: The files necessary to modify, build, and install the system.

 

Versions of Visopsys 0.2 and older have "binary" distributions that come with a Java installer program.  If you are running Windows 2000 or greater, the installer probably won't work for you, so you should download the floppy disk image instead.  To use the installer you will also need to have Java installed on your system -- If you don't have it, you can get it from Sun Microsystems here
