 Q: How do I download a zipped file using WWW and Netscape?

 A: Since about 1993-94 the World Wide Web has experienced an
unprecedented explosion and is sometime even (somewhat incorrectly)
thought as the Internet. The most popular browser to utilize WWW is
overwhelmingly the Netscape Navigator. This means that using
Netscape to get files from FTP sites has become an important option
along with the more conventional ftp tools. The exact steps to get
files using Netscape is dependent on your configuration and your
Netscape version, but here is an outline with Windows 3.1 and
Netscape version 1.22 (there are more recent versions, but at the
time of writing this, there have been an alarming number of bug
reports about the Netscape 2+ versions on the Usenet news.) 1) Move
the mouse cursor on the file name link. A link is usually indicated
by a different color (often blue or magenta). Furthermore, you'll
see at the bottom of your screen the URL (Universal Resource
Locator) path automatically appear. 2) Holding the cursor there,
click the right mouse button, and a menu should appear. 3) Click on
"Save this link as". Another menu "Save as" should appear. 4) Accept
the suggestion and click on the OK button. Or select where the file
should go. Usually start with selecting the drive from the "Drives"
window. If you wish to, then select a directory from the
"Directories" window. Then click on the OK button. That should be
about it.
