I'm sorry, Mike, but my tests do not confirm what you say.

If I connect to the HTTP site named below, I cannot test because it lists no
files with the extension .img or .ima . The two images I name below appear
here to have been re-suffixed as .bin . As .bin files, they do download
properly as binary.

If I connect to the FTP site named below, using Netscape on a Win95 host, it
still attempts to download these two files as text:

        Oxygen_2000_img_rescue.ima
        EigerStein_contrib_img_pppoe0beta0.2.img
