OK I have this code LostS's scratchpad that creates a CSV file from a DB and then tells the browser to download it. Now I have tried this on my local desktop and form other remote systems using IE 6.0, NS 4.78, & NS 4.8 and it has always worked fine for me. However when this user tries it they get a zero length file error. They are using NS 4.8. What can I do to try and debug what is going on?? Any suggestions??

perl -le '$cat = "cat"; if ($cat =~ /\143\x61\x74/) { print "Its a cat
+!\n"; } else { print "Thats a dog\n"; }'
