OK, let's summarize... There is no NCU *package*, this is s/w that runs on
your Mac. The disk image files are just what the name implies, images of
disks (in this case, floppies, I believe). The Disk Copy app that came with
your Mac should mount these images on your desktop, or you can use the far
superior (IMHO) ShrinkWrap to do the same thing. At that point you use them
just as you would any other disk.
As for downloading, the key combo that everyone was looking for was
control-click, as you're looking to use a contextual menu. I believe that
click-and-hold works in both Netscape as well as Explorer. As far as the
ambiguous menu choice presented under Netscape and the difficulties in
d/l-ing as a usable file, well that's just one of the reasons I gave up on
Netscape years ago, so I can't help too much there.
Whew! Is that all clear now??
