4.01 downloads page broken?

Andy,

I was going to install Dolphin on an ME machine, and found that it tried to
open (from the web site) the MSI file for 4.01 pro as a text document.  A
few variations didn't work, and then I discovered that a 95 machine (that
downloaded the files in the past) next to it did the same thing.  Is it just
my squirrely machines, or did something change on the server?

Have a good one,

Bill

Hmm... we also see this problem. At this stage I haven't the faintest idea
what's happening but we'll investigate ASAP. Thanks for keeping your beady
eyes open!

Ok, the web server now recognizes the following MIME types:

application/msi so .msi
application/msm so .msm

This should mean that MSI and MSM will be treated as binary (not text) and
should download correctly (and not appear in the browser). This should now
work for all versions of Netscape (not just NS6 as it did previously) so if
anyone would like to give it a try, that would be dandy.
