Hello All,

This is my second request with a simple question regarding links that allow 
clients to d/l some template files with .EPS, .DOC and .PSD extensions. When 
I perform a normal click on the link for the file-  (A 
HREF="templates/xxxxx.EPS"), the popup window shows the correct file name to 
access, but the "Save As..." file name that it shows just before saving is  
xxxxx.ps and not xxxxx.eps.  Performing a right-click and "Save Target As..." 
does the same truncation to the file extension.  The files reside on a 
Unix/Apache server.  I have no trouble with other templates in same folder 
with .PSD or .DOC extensions.  Any ideas what's goofy here?  Case sensitivity 
doesn't make a difference either whether the extension is .eps or .EPS.  
Zipped versions cause no problems, but need native formats as well for 
"Zip-challenged" customers.

Thanks in advance.
