As of cab 1.0 you shouldn't need the swampdog file in to deal with 
binary files cab itself actually does that now.. maybe this is causing 
a problem.. It shouldn't though.

Netscape doesn't recognise lzh files as being archives usually and 
tries to display them as text once they have downloaded if your friend 
tried to save these to disk then thats the problem.. if he forced a 
binary file download (cant remember which button in netscape) it 
should have downloaded fine with no problems. 
Can you handle uuencodes? If so ill mail you a copy.

Nick.
