>Hello there:

>
>I get a nice page with the zip picker link.
>
>Second, I click on the zip picker link:

>I get a page that ends with: "Select a suitable FTP site: "
>
>That's it. No list. Not a thing.
Try clicking refresh. Delorie Software's site is known for being slow; it's
run either off a 56K modem, ISDN, or ADSL (don't know which).
>So: I add a "/" to the end of *that* address, and I get to:
>
>http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/zip-picker.html/
Don't do that.
>Lo and Behold!!! There is the zip picker page. So, I select what
>I want, and at the bottom of the page -- where it says: "Tell me
>which files I need" -- I click.

>THAT brings me to:
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/zip-picker.html/zip-picker.cgi

>WHICH displays the message:

>I'll send a note to DJ to have that page fixed."

>So, I figure the page is broken. So, I write to DJ. No response.
>I write to the djgpp list, and I get told that the page is fine.
It is.
>I've tried to get to this page using my son's Win95

>Netscape 4.7. What is going on here?
Reload and wait. Unless you can help DJ pay for a faster server...
