The problem that we were both having, is DL'ing and installing the three
image files.
Understand that NCU is not a package, never said it was. I have it
installed on my TAM, but wanted to install it on another Mac I have.
Shrinkwrap (3.5.1) didn't work for some reason. Never had a problem with
it before.
Diskcopy worked on image 1 and 3 but not 2. Weird.
Control-click gives you the same result and holding the mouse over the
link. DL'ing via popup menu is the same whether you choose text or
source. Both are a text file with a .img ending.
Netscape has usually worked well for me. So has IE. Use 'em both.
Thanks for trying.
