As I replyed to Dee, My problem occured because I tried to download
using Netscape under Win NT 4.
Using Netscape and Linux the files were gziped as they were being
downloaded. Everything is fine now. I've never had this problem
under Win NT before. I'd have used Linux except WinNT is what I have
to use at work.
Thanks,
Terry
