I have had this sort of thing happen once or twice.
(Giggle: Have you ever had an MPEG show up as heiroglyphics in Arachne's
display area ?)
It is caused by the sending server describing the file as a .TXT file.
If it happens, let the whole file download. :)
Then shell out to DOS, rename the *.txt file you find in the cache to
the correct *.zip, then copy it over to a safe directory.
I have enjoyed watching, and listening to, quite a few .TXT files
that way. :)
Regards,
Ron
