an IE bug. The problem was that www.mit.edu wasn't sending the MIME type for .dmg files. It's fixed now.

if David were to have switched to Chimera or Mozilla or Netscape or OmniWeb or... he would run into the same problem. The problem is on the server, not the browser.

a well known, long-time deficiency with IE that handles .dmg files incorrectly. Just do "save as...", or stop using IE.

here I managed to get it work. This is great. Incidentally, if you are using to for an X Windows application, include the following line at the beginning of your shell script to start XDarwin if needed and switch to it already running: /usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "XDarwin" to activate'

to have stopped working in 10.1.1. I had it working before 10.1.1. However, you must direct all script output that you want to see to a file as the program will not open a window and display output. Also if you change the script and try to make another drop app, you must remove or rename the old app first as dropscript will not overwrite the old one. (And will not tell you either.)
