I found goofy file names that would not run on Edge or Chrome from our server. They were running fine on the host where I found them. Have you run into file extensions like these?

Gee, Tom - that's interesting. So that's a server-side file? Implemented by that particular site's server?
There may be a program that allows access to the zip files without opening them. Seems to me on my last PC, I used to use 7-zip to look at zip files without opening them. It let me into the file and its directories where I could look at the images, etc, but it did not open the zip unless I told it to extract all files.

All my PCs have allowed viewing of files within a compressed folder or zip file. . WebTV could view gzipped files online, PCs cannot.
Remember everyone gzipping their midis for sigs and pages?
The weird thing about this game is that the main page had <script src=directory/file.js> and the directory only had file.jsgz I don't understand how the different extension names worked. I wrote the gzip routine on our server FMs and the extension name has to be exact for the routine to work.

Thanks for the research, Linda. Not sure if our server supports that feature. Our scripts are not placed in cgi-bin. Steve could probably tell us and would have to set that up. Not really worth the trouble with the storage we have.
