You are using the wrong command. Lynx is following your command properly. Lynx is (usually) built with automatic decompression of gzipped files. When you run lynx with a URL as the only option it will display that URL if it can. Only if lynx doesn't know how to display the file (such as with a zip file) will it ask if you wish to download or cancel. The command line you want in order to download the tar.gz file is: lynx -source "http://lynx.isc.org/current/lynx2.8.5dev.7.tar.gz"; If you first go to "http://lynx.isc.org/current/"; and highlight the above file you can see the same difference by activating the link to view the file in lynx, or typing "d" to download the file. Your command line above is equivalent to activating the link. Doug __ Doug Kaufman Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
