I'll try and do that tomorrow, due to the latest apache worm scare I'm
rebuilding the reportlab.co.uk server at the moment. According to my
latest info this won't work for IE 4/5 on Macs, but I may be mistaken on
that.

The URL that I tried looked something like
http://www.reportlab.co.uk/cgi-bin/tgzenc.cgi?ttt.html

ie it had an extension '.html' when I tried with the extension
.html.gz IE only wanted to save the file.
