Single File with odd bit of bits of junk at the borders of the lumps that
used to be files.

I know IE can but I don't think I have installed anthing that would, all
I've realy got is shockwave..............

I am aware of this but I only realy know the theory, I think this is where
something is going wrong. Dunno what.

Ill try not to take this the wrong way.......
I've been using IE for about 3 years, Im working twords an MCSE (Yes I do
have doubts about Microsoft certified but $�$�$�!). I'm supporting a network
of 200 95 boxes with 5 NT Servers. I'd like to think if it was the
problem........ I would figure it out. No offence it's that this is the
6/7th mail I've had suggesting this. Suffice it to say........
I tryed. In fact the only way I worked out what the .tar.gz files in my
Dowloads folder were, was by leftclicking on one of the links just cuz I
hadn't tryed it. I got a page of Docs/Source/faq etc.
