Sorry, I don't have any software on my system for interpreting .jnlp
files, whatever those are. (And I *do* have software for the common
and
even many of the more obscure formats for images, archives, and the
like, just to put that into some sort of perspective...)

You actually don't have a web browser?

I have a web browser, but it's the bog-standard variety that
understands .jpg, .gif, .png, .txt, .html, .shtml, .php, and
directories, and a few others (notably .svg).

Most webbrowsers don't actually understand php or shtml. Typically,
when
an URL ends with these extensions, they are actually serving HTML
content.

Entirely beside the point. An *unfamiliar* file extension generally
means "little point in trying", since it usually leads to the save
as... dialog and no clue what to do with the resulting file, or else to
the "You are missing a required plugin" message (exact details
regarding the latter vary by browser) and no idea what plugin or where
it can be found or even whether one exists for that data type.

    First of all, when you say an "unfamiliar file extension", do you mean
unfamiliar to you, or unfamiliar to the OS on your computer?

    Secondly, if your webbrowser is unable to open jnlp files, try
re-installing the Java plugin for your browser. If that doesn't fix it,
please state the name of your browser so that browser-specific advice may be
given.
