Gerald,
Thanks for the followup. I have two questions:
1) By extra space in the file, you mean outside the [- -] embperl constructs
right? (This can't be there because it will be sent to the browser which will
cause problems, right?)
2) Don't you have to do something fancy with the http output headers? How
do I tell the browser that a zip file is coming?
