Well, it appears he's doing the site with javascript links, which one would hope that Netscape could handle - although I'm just checking with Opera, and they don't work there, either. Regardless, I'm not sure I see why he needs Javascript just to load pages in different frames. Normal targeted links would do the job just as nicely, wouldn't they?

Hmm... they're just gzipped (zipping for Unix (and Linux and stuff)). I think MS' IE does it automatic, and I know WinZip does GZipping. Maybe you're on a Mac? I'm not sure why whatever common internet zipping utils the Mac has wouldn't do gzipping, though - it's not *that* uncommon. They would need to be compressed, though - those IDM archives take up a *LOT* of space! -Adam _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
