[NTLUG:Discuss] Can not download/save .exe file

[Daniel L. Shipman]

Two things:

1. in mime.types - which should be in /etc/ make sure that the exe mime
type is listed
	 ie	application/octet-stream	exe
2. Make sure that in Netscape the mime type is set for exe - which UNLESS
you changed it it is - the problem is most likely in the mime.types file -
I am constantly finding things that should be in there - I put some Word
files up on my site for download and found that they wern't downloading  -
so in mime.types I added 

application/msword		doc

and boom it worked - good luck
