[abcusers] problem downloading .ABC files
Hey all! I'm new to this list and have noticed that you contributers are quite the experts on editing abc so PLEASE help me if you can! About a year ago I downloaded abc2win and was able to download all kinds of wonderful abc files and print or play them on the various other programs that I installed (like Melody Assistant), life was great. For quite some months now I have this very irritating problem; when I visit a site ,that has abc files, and when I click on something like- "Reels 1-100" instead of getting the download window ,that asks where to save the file,all I get is the printed text of the abc tunes! AGH! Nothing I do seems to work. I've tried everything but to no avail. On his web site,Henrik Norbeck,explains how to "set up Netscape to read .abc files correctly". Well and good that is for those lucky souls with Netscape but I'm still unable to simply download any abc files. Will anyone please help me! It's driving me mad! Thanks. Any help is greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Alberto Duran __ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages get email alerts with Yahoo!

RE: [abcusers] problem downloading .ABC files
Another approach, if it is Netscape, is to hold down the shift key while you click on the link to the file. The save file dialog should appear. Jim Vint That is because, probably on the server side, the file is being sent as "mime/txt" which your browser recognizes as something it can display so it does. Just right click on the link, and select "save target as..." from the resulting menu. John A. On Tuesday, September 19, 2000 1:35 PM, Alberto Duran [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] wrote: great.
