Hi:

mailcapstuff.tar.gz is just a regular tar.gz file, it's not a slackware tgz
package (I wish they'd picked some other file extention even if they'd kept
the same format).  You just unpack it in your home directory and you're
set.  Note that you'll probably want to look at .mailcap in particular to
check that the programs you want used are being called.

Oh yeah the 2 files are .mailcap and .mime.types (note the leading dot).
You have to use the -a switch to ls for these to show up in regular
directory listings.

Geoff.

hi,
i had it all of the time!
i did not realize that i needed the -a switch with ls
so i thought that i did not have it.
thanks for the help.
