<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Lance, this might be a web cache issue, either with
your local browser or IIS (or whatever web server's being used).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since you probably don't have the ability to
restart the web server just leave it up there for a while and on your local
machine flush history, temp files and close the browser then try
again. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Of course this might not be the problem, normally
when I've seen this problem it's in the case of a file being updated and the
local browser or the web server doesn't recognize that there's been an update to
the file and it keeps using the old one.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't know anything about Comcast web hosting
policies, but it's also possible that they won't allow any files to be
downloaded until they do a local scan on the file, of course this is just a wild
guess. Hey, maybe they are doing a scan on the file so when you named it they
know something's fishy... Let me know when you figure it out.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Animated Symphony plane</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have this 3-D animation that allows the user to
spin and manipulate a 3D model of our new Symphony plane on their
computer. It is way cool. Even if you don't have any interest in
the plane, playing with this animation of a very cool pattern plane is
fun. However, I can't seem to get it posted on my website.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I realize this problem
is only half related to this list, but I need a suggestion from the web
masters out there. I have a Comcast hosted site and it won't allow a
hyperlink to work that I created to let users download this program. I
don't know what it doesn't like or how it knows. At first I posted the
file (it has an .exe extension) and the file is on the server and the
hyperlink is visible, but clicking on it does nothing. Then I figured it
didn't want .exe files downloaded (maybe a virus fear) so I renamed it .ex_,
.ddd, .xxx, even .doc (which I know works for Word docs) and still no
luck. Maybe it is the hyperlink itself. Is there a way of making a
hyperlink that does not launch the underlying object, just lets you download
it? Any suggestions welcome.</FONT></DIV>
