I've only done these in Linux, but since MacOS is said to be unix-based, I'd probably try bunzip2 filename.tar.bz2. Then with the tar file, it would probably be tar xf filename.tar, replacing the file name with the name of the real file, of course.

Subject: unpacking a darwin port



I downloaded the darwin port of lynx.  It has a ".tar.bz2" extension.  I
have used gzip and gunzip for ".gz" compressed files but I 'm not familiar
with the above "bz2" extension.

What do I use at the leperd terminal to uncompress it?  What then is the
tar command to get the individual files?

Thanks.
