The flash player for linux is a netscape plug in. I didn't see a download
for it on macromedia's website. Shockwave is something different.
Try looking on netscape's site for plug-ins.

btw, on unix, compressed files usually come in the form of ".tar.gz" or
".tgz"
This is a tarred and gzipped file.
one would uncompress the file with:
tar xvfz file.tar.gz or tar xvfz file.tgz

As long as I'm writing about glitches, here's another.
I went to a commercial site (Lane Bryant, where my wife has an
account) which told me I needed something called Flash player.
I went to the site, and downloaded the software for Linux.
www.macromedia.com/shockwave
Then I went into my files and clicked on the files, but they would
not open. I was supposed to "decompress" the files which sounds
like pkunzip but I don't know how.
