I do not think that my comments on which file format to choose have been that impolite. If this had however been the case I apologise as Herbert is certainly doing a good job.

I have downloaded the file using Netscape 4.73, as usual. NN never produced any problems on my system when using it for downloads. Besides Netscape there are Internet Explorer 5.5 and StarOffice 5.2 available on my system. As I have to work with Windows, would you suggest to repeat download with one of those clients instead? Are there any particular options I have to choose? Again, this is the first time I have trouble of this kind. TIA! Juergen.
