Bob -
Your browser believes the ".au" file is an audio file meant to be
played, and not simply copied to your disk drive.
You can try right-clicking on the bin.au and use the "save as"
option (if you're using Netscape or IE.) This will save the file
instead of trying to play it.
As an alternative, you might try using `ftp' instead of your browser
for doing the downloading.

p.s. While I'm sending you mail - and since you are an MVS Systems Programmer,
let me invite you to visit http://www.dignus.com - we offer a
C compiler, Systems/C, for MVS that runs on OS/390, Linux - and -
FreeBSD. This compiler is quickly becoming the C compiler "of choice"
for MVS Systems programming. There are many features in the compiler
which you may find interesting:
FAR pointer support
Direct in-line assembly
Use your own prologue/epilogue
Generates ASM source ready for including in your own
programs/exits.
If you have any questions about Systems/C (or FreeBSD for that matter)
feel free to contact me directly.
