I don' think your brain is messed - it's Netscape. It does this occasinally for be as well - I'll follow a .gz link and it will get uncompressed for me automagically. Sometimes it drops the .gz for my copy (which is should..) and sometimes is leaves it as .gz even though it actually went though the bother of uncompressing it (at least I think it did!). The interaction between Netscape and WuFTP on these issues has always been a bit funky if you ask me... -Mark > > matt > > > > > -john > > -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com RingZero Comp. http://vinyl.quickweb.com/mark finger mark@quickweb.com for my PGP key and GCS code ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Win95/NT - 32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition. -UGU
