Please visit http://epaperpress.com/temp/t.html and click on the link. The
link source indicates the filename is
unix.tar.gz
however, when downloading in ie6, it changes the name to
unix.tar.tar
What's going on?

Seeing no workaround, I've added text to my web site that users will have to
rename the file when they download.
Sigh...

When I downloaded it, I didn't have to rename it. Give it a try.

Probably the same thing that Microsoft always does, assume.
I downloaded with Opera and IE, and was able to open both.

Add Mozilla to the list for "uses correct name".
If you tell people they have to rename the file, I hope you'll
indicate that IE is the only known browser with this problem.
