Not at all, this is very relevant to flash. You can set a Get URL to a file
on the server when a button is clicked. If IE or Netscape can't interpret
the file within its browser or in other words render it out it will request
you save it. I would just place it in a zip file for pc or sit, hqx
whatever it was for stuffit I forgot for Mac. Once a user clicks on it, it
will ask to save to disk.
