Doesn't InternetExplorer's notion of what's a binary file come from the info
for the file extension being downloaded? I know that windows stores a
command to be run whenever that file is acted upon in some way by the
windows shell (windows explorer). Along with the list of explorer actions
and associated commands, their is a field for associated mime type. So, if
something isn't being treated as binary when you think it should be, I'd
look at the file extensions dialog box in windows explorer usually accessed
by viewMenu\options.
Just my two cents...

Subject: FAQ
Hi all,
Kirk, you mentioned two things you wanted in the FAQ. One was about
switching one's machine to receive binary when downloading the proper
files. The other was something about rawrite. Can you please tell me
again what that was?
Also, can somebody give me specific info on how to switch to binary
mode when using the web. Do windows people have to do a certain thing
or what.
Thanks,
Ann P.
