Newbie Question - File Archives

I'm sure this is something that's as obvious as the nose on my face, but I can't find it and the places where I would think there would be a link to it don't have links. I know this is a complete newbie question, so I ask for your patience and a simple answer.

I'm not a big gamer, but I've always liked the Myst games and now I finally have a good system with an HDTV to play them on. I'm using them on a MacMini running OS X with Parallels and a Windows XP VM on the system. I can install games without a problem, but I'd really like to be able to run them without the CDs or DVDs.

There are NoCD instructions for all of these games (other than Riven), but on the descriptions, like this one for realMyst, there are continual references to files in the "File Archive," such as "Replace the original REALMYST.EXE file with the one from the File Archive."

While I know this should be obvious, I can't find a file archive on GameCopyWorld. I found a Files area, but I can't find any link to the File Archive.

I know this is quite obvious, but I can't find it.

Where is the file archive and where can I download this file (and the other ones for the other games)?

Your right, that is a newbie question but we all have to start somewhere so yes newbie questions are fine.

You need to click the link to the left of the file name, like in the pic below.

Thanks! I had clicked the filenames, thinking they were links, and looked where related sites were linked and so on.

This is a bit like when I was writing software for my own business -- give me a complicated issue and I could get the answer easily. But if it was something amazingly simple, it'd always throw me for a loop - I tend to miss the easy!
