I should know how to deal with this but I don't. How do I translate this Explorer page into a RR file, or even the script as a text file?
This comes up pretty frequently. David's wordman.rev was just a spur of the moment thing... so this information is just so people are aware of it in general:
If you are putting a .rev file on a webserver, but when people download it displays in the browser: it's not the user's fault, or their web browser's fault. The fault is the configuration of the web server. The web server does not know what mime-type to send with a .rev file.
IF your web server is running Apache (very likely), and the configuration allows overrides by users (pretty likely), the solution is: create a file named .htaccess (note first character is a ".") Edit the file with a text editor in plain text mode. Put the .htaccess file into your web folder. Done. This is the .htaccess file I found useful on my website:
AddType application/octet-stream dmg AddType application/octet-stream gz AddType application/octet-stream rev
Now the user's web browser will not display any of these files types, it will just download them to disk.
