Re: eRPG question

[Jim Langston <jimlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, all you have to do is provide a web page with a link to
the file you want them to be able to download.  Then when they
click on this, you serve them that "page" which is actually the
file to download.

Their browser will then ask them where they want to save the file.

Browsers look at the extension of files to determine what to do
with them, display them as .HTM or HTML files, run or save them as
.EXE or .ZIP files, play them as media files, etc...

You really don't need to worry about that, just serve them the object,
the file, and their browser will take care of the rest.
