| ASP is Active Server Pages, similar to PHP. Did you just download it by using save page as in a web browser, or did you really download the whole page, and not just the html it shows you? You need either MS IIS web server, or an apache module, which I forget the name of. You should be able to open it in any text editor because it's just a text file.

| Doesn't text edit have a limit to the size of the file it can open? Oh well that's just what I thought, maybe it's too large for textedit.

| You probably need to just save it to a file and ignore the fact tha the ASP developer did not test this on a Mac... The fact is that the download is taking the name of the ASP page rather than the file it is trying to download to you. Just rename the file to whatever is is supposed to be... If it is an executable that is supposed to run on WinDoze, then you SOL...
