Hi Dave,
By default, Netscape is configured to download .exe files rather than open
the files. The links point to the ftp site to download the Intel based
hotfix, the installing automatically is a local configuration of Netscape.
With any ftp client, you can go to
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/fixes/usa/nt40/Hotfixes-PostSP
5/
where you can go into each hotfix manually. This is where the "Microsoft's
Post SP Hotfixes" link at the top of the Hotfixes page points. A right
click on the individual links to the hotfixes, with Netscape, may give you
the option to just save the hotfixes.
Please let me know if this works.
Thanks,
Jonathan
