I don't believe it -- it's another IE "feature"!! It doesn't happen in Netscape 7. Not completely sure, but I think the binary data is the mac-specific type/creator code which apparently IE feels the need to prepend. I thought I was safe now that I've dumped OS 9 entirely and moved everything to OS X, but I guess not.
Btw, I finally figured out a way of stripping the binary data with a regexp (after struggling for a while before discovering that fgets is not binary safe!), but still, it's a hack that I'd rather not have to use. Honestly, Microsoft is the bane of my existence. Every time it tries to "help", it gets it wrong. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. Sometimes the eyes blur and the mind freezes over at times like these, and it takes external input to get un-frozen. Cheers... Alex [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Are you using Apache 2? > > ---John W.
