Sometimes, Netscape gets confused when you try to download things, and
instead of saving the file to disk, it will try to read it like a normal
website, and show you the words it gets back.
To get around this, if you're using Netscape 4 or higher (I think it's 4 or
higher), you can control-click on the link to bring up a pop-up menu, or
else hold down the button for a second or two while on the link to bring the
menu up. On that menu select "Save link as..." and then in the subsequent
dialog box, tell it where to save. You may need to run Aladdin's Stuffit to
"unstuff" the file and expand it into an actual application.
Good luck!
