Try following the link (http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/n64/file/banjo_kazooie_j.txt) Displays fine ne? As far as I can tell, the server is compressing the text file using gzip and moz is decompressing and displaying it at the client end. The problem comes when you save the file. Moz saves the gzip compressed version. I assume this is a bug - If you save it in moz, take it to a windoze box and open it in any text editor, it displays gibberish @_@ -Rob
yeah, this is reported. unfortunately, the server is nice and only sends encoded if you ask. there are two possible http headers relating to this; transfer-encoding and content-encoding, someone else will mention which this server is doing.
