Thanks for the reply,
I am forced to download it via Netscape. I don't know how Netscape determined binary/ascii. Is there a switch/option to insure binary under Netscape. In the past I've never had problems with normal files called *.gz or *.rpm but for some reason I've trouble with *.GZ. Any ideas?
I've gotten in the habit, of downloading by right-clicking on the link, then choose "save as". It seems to always work. If you left-click on a link, it will sometimes open a binary file, because the Navigator Applications setting for the file is open, rather than "save to disk". You can change these behaviors in "preferences". Netscape is smart enough to save a binary as a binary. Go look through EDIT/Preferences/Navigator/Applications and you'll see how to change it. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
