Right i'm going to try that now

I was only at the site to find out some info for a friend.... honest 
cross my heart and hope to die :-)


>>2. Cab crashed when i tried to add an address to the hotlist,i opened
>>the hotlist window clicked on miscellanious by mistake and it crashed.

>Hmm Which version of cab? 1.2a is the latest btw.. (later than 1.2) I

I was using 1.2 at the time but now i've got hold of 1.2a (just wish i
could get to use it sometime :-) )
  
Oh, there was one other thing, when i downloaded 1.2 from Alex's site i got
to about 180k and Cab suddenly presented me with a file selector to save the 
file which i did ,i then was faced with a page that said BINARY FILE.
The following morning i downloaded the whole thing again without any problems.
Any ideas about what might have happened? (i had plenty HD space).
