Somewhat better results than occurred here. I used
"Save Link Target As" in SeaMonkey (the continuation
of Mozilla Suite) to pick up those files. They would
not Copy to my FAT-16 D:, however. (OS/2 error code
276 -- something about corrupted EAs.) I don't recall
ever seeing that one before, but then I've been doing
some hard drive migration experiments lately, so all
bets are off. Or maybe the codepage discrepancy had
something to do with it . . . .

Anyway, I've since managed to correct this, and have
saved the files for Xy-reference, should they ever be
needed.
