A ZIP file will not necessarily work either. I have my system configured so
that a ZIP file is automatically opened when I click the link (I have virus
scanning so I feel safe doing this). And therein lies the problem - the
default browser action when a download link is clicked (IE anyway) is to pop
up a dialog with the choices Open or Save. The user can specify that a
certain type -DOC or ZIP - always be opened without asking. THe only
possibility I can think of is to use ftp but I am not sure if this would
work.
