That's not what he said. He suggested that Ascend include the type
maps on their web server to map the file extensions to the correct
MIME type. For example in mime.types (on an Apache server):
application/octet-stream [list all file extensions here]
Alternately, the AddType command (again on an Apache web server):
AddType application/octet-stream .exe .hqx .etc .etc .etc .etc
Will correctly send the MIME type to the browser when a file with
that extension is encountered. That will allow all browsers to
download the file correctly.
