1) tell your user's to Shift-Click the links to download, and/or make sure Netscape isn't decompressing the files when it downloads them (probable cause).
2) check that the files aren't being renamed to xxx_tar.gz . For some reason this happens on some windows boxen. They have to be renamed to xxx.tar.gz to be useable. 3) possibly give your files the *.tgz extension. It should be recognized as a compressed tar archive by Winzip (tar czf xxx.tgz mydir). -- +----------------------------------------------------+ | Eric G.
