I have gotten quite a few questions of this sort lately, so I thought
I would let interested parties on the mailing list know: I don't know
exactly what the problem is but the file seems to get corrupted when I
download it using the Win 95 version of Netscape (but not the UNIX version
or the Mac version). I have found no workaround at this point except to put
a pointer to a uuencoded (i.e. text only) version of the file on my page.

If you are using Netscape on Windows 95 then download that and uudecode it.
Ick!

Netscape seem to have no problems with files from ftp sites (like the other
files on the list). If someone has a place where they can put my file on an
anonymous FTP site I would appreciate it. Otherwise I don't know what to do.

Colin.
