Another way to make this easier is to create a little web page (pretty
much same contents as your email!) that references the two files as
links. Then tell people to go to that page, and when people click on
the link, if they hold down the shift key, their browser will prompt
them to save the file
You could use this one:
[Note that you at home could just save this above page on you local
disk, into, say /tmp/vlog-pp.html, and get it into your browser by
typing: file:/tmp/vlog-pp.html, and then do the shift click and
beginning downloading.]
[[Of course what I did is realize that netscape saves PDF files in
/tmp as like, M98769JHGJ76576.pdf, and I just copied those to my HDL++
directory. But then, that's me]]
