".gz" files

FYI - I just checked the uncompressed file size on my end (by uncompressing
the gz file) and the resulting file is in fact 671088640 bytes exactly.

I wonder if something in Jeromes netscape is getting in the way? Jerome, did
you run WinZip on the file that you downloaded, or does your netscape have
something in it that uncompresses it on the fly as it downloads or
something? Perhaps netscape is getting in the way. Also I SEEM to remember
something about in netscape you shouldn't click on a file you want to
download, you should right click on it and choose "save as" instead. I could
swear I remember seeing something posted about certain versions of netscape
you needed to download that way or something would go awry for certain
files? Just guessing from foggy memory, perhaps my recollection was related
to something else.
