Note 1) the lecture makes reference to exercise files in .EXE and .TAR.GZ formats that cannot be downloaded from this site. These contain the identical contents as the .ZIP file, including all invocations required for non-Windows environments. Simply use the .ZIP file for unpacking and then follow the platform-specific instructions.
Note 2) a student has kindly pointed out that the "data2" exercise file is different than what is used on the video. I've attached a supplemental ZIP file to this lecture 10 with the correct version of the exercise.
