Netscape and File Downloads
By
default Netscape does not handle Windows Help files very well (it displays
garbage in the browser), or dBase DBF files (it downloads the file but
selectively removes fields). From the viewpoint of the PC market, this is a
bug, but Netscape might argue that they should not worry about the standards of
the 95% of the world that uses Windows.
1. Upgrade to Internet Explorer. It can handle Windows
Help files intelligently without special effort, or dBase DBF files. Go to www.microsoft.com
2. In Netscape, right click on the link to
the help file. Then you will have a menu which includes a choice to
"Save As" on your hard disk. You want the help file on your hard disk
anyway for later reference, or the dBase file so you can use it in a GIS or
database program.
