Angus: I think you'll find that ordinary unzip or 7zip can do that for you. There basically are two kinds of compressed executables 1) the executable archive, basically a zip file with a little bit of program code that basically says to "unzip me". These files are far more common, and handle very well on Linux. 2) the "expand" type compressed exes. These are distinct because they all have a trailing _ as part of their name, and only seems to be common on Windows installation media, to save space on the disks. I don't think there is a tool that will handle this natively on Linux. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
