Denise A couple of things. First you need to have a directory that is accessible via FTP. I don't know if we have such a directory on USIT or not. If not I can sponsor a few files on my ISP account. Second they should be in a zip (preferably a ZIPped and UNZIPPED format) ZIPped for those that can support it and will be a quicker download, UNZIPPED for those that don't support it but it can be displayed in text format. What happens is that on most servers if the extension is say .txt or .ged (anything but zips exe, and coms) it will be attempted to be displayed. Other servers have it set that unless it has an archive extension (i.e. zip, tz, gz, gc etc) it will be displayed. Jack E.
