If I down load the file using Communicator 4.05 in Windows 95 the file can't
be tar'ed or gunziped however when I downloaded in Linux using Communicator
4.05 to the same vfat partition the files were uncompressed as you say but
could be tar'ed.  Go figure!
I've only down the one so far and it didn't care what case I used or what
case the *.gz file was in.
When I downloaded in Linux the file was created in UPPERCASE but "mv"
wouldn't allow me to change the case to lower case, but as I said it didn't
really matter anyway.
I don't think I like Download.com's layout.
I got all sorts of warnings when I tarred the first file maybe this won't
matter after I've done the others.   Something about Permissions.

Thanks
Kevin
