Hi LD,
      I know very little about HTML and how servers indentify
and/or send file identities. However, I do know that Glen is
right when he says Arachne treats any file she can't identify
as a .txt file. 
      I just checked to make sure by removing the .jpg graphics
extension from a file on my webpage and then I downloaded it
with Arachne. Arachne assumed it was a .txt file and displayed
it as text.
      I then changed the graphics file extension to .htm and then
tried another download w/Arachne. This time the file was still
displayed as text but in different format.

      By the way, what in tarnation is a "sticky" file. 
What am I missing out on?

     Eric
