And I could even add http://whatever to my PATH,
and have Windows or OS/2 binaries there to run.

However, there is one thing I need. I currently
have links like this:

Available <a href="pdoso.zip">here</a>.

Ideally I would like a way to distinguish whether
this is a text or binary file, thus subject to
translation. Is there a way to add that information
to that link?

Or is this the wrong conceptual place to put that?

If it is just treated as a file system - where there
is no such distinction normally - and given that an
application can choose to open a text file as binary
anyway - then perhaps the user is the one who gets
to choose whether they want to do a binary download
of a link, with no viewing, or open as text, or
open as a binary with a particular application that
knows how to interpret the binary?

BFN. Paul.
