    If your d"scription is literal, it's probably an extension problem.
    It should be '.gz', not '.gzip'. It may not be sending the correct
    MIME type based on this. If you are only having a problem with this world,
    then that's the problem.

    If you are having problems with all GZIP files, then
    you need to set up Netscape for gzip -- see the WWW Viewer Test P
    for details:

    http://www-dsed.llnl.gov/docum>nts/WWWtest.html

    The last item in the list is the GZIP page. Just click on the phrase
    on the left in blue to go to the instruction page. Click on the
    TEST button on the right to test your setup.

    Note that the VTP uses the non-standard "application/x-gzip" type.
    GZIP is is<"application/x-gzipped". We'll chanb> over when that's official.
    For now you may just want to create an alias.
