If you try to download the SPIN file in Phil's reply, it come up as an image on the screen.

As a workaround, you can right-click on it and save it that way.

Seems to work fine for me with FireFox in Linux. The link appears when I hover over the image and I can just click it as normal.

Here is what I get with WIN7 and Chrome.

EDIT: This when I click on the file to download. When I hover over it, I get the same look.

Since Google Chrome thinks it's an image, I can only save it as an image.

EDIT: See below.

I get the same, (bad), results with IE11.

EDIT: I did check to see that the .spin extension is only associated with the Propeller Tool.

Heater.

Odd, right click, select "save link as" works fine on this Chrome on Windows.

OK, my bad. "Save link as" does work, but clicking on the file should download it and not display an image.
