There seems to be something about the link that will only work with IE and
not Netscape.  For me, it wasn't that it didn't work, but that it couldn't
find the file with Netscape.  It worked fine with IE.  

In Netscape, if you put the mouse over the link or opened it into a new
window, the url of the file was something like this:

http://www.sfdj.com/dive/mms://media.worldpub.com/vid/dir3-roughcut-56k-vers
ion.asf

Which didn't work.

If you did the same thing in IE, it looked like this:

mms://media.worldpub.com/vid/dir3-roughcut-56k-version.asf

Which worked.

BTW, i tried to upgrade to version 7 of media player and the Microsoft site
told me that they don't support NT 4.0 (which I use) for version 7 and that
the latest previous version would be fine.  It was.

Something for all of us Netscape types to keep in mind.  Always try it on IE
before you decide that the link is broken.  I know from one of the Navy
sites that I use for work that some things just don't work with Netscape.
