IIRC you can use "7zip" for Windows to

Or search for bzip2 for Windows (was "win tools"

I have managed to decompress the file with
'bsdtar', however, this
does not result in an 'iso' but actually turns the
livecd64-ahorn5.iso.bz2 into all the files that
would make up the
livecd64-ahorn5.iso, so I do end up with all the
files, but not an
image I can burn onto a cd.
Perhaps the file you're using has been deliberately
misnamed. Or,
perhaps bsdtar is not as useful a program as it
would seem at first glance.
If you remove the *.bz2 extension, leaving the
filename as just *.iso,
can it then be burned as an ISO in your CD burning
software?
In any case I would check the file with WinRAR or
7zip (or even Total
Commander) to confirm that it really is a bzipped
iso, and not just an
ISO that has been renamed to iso.bz2

Ahhh... 7zip found the iso, and extracting it.
This issue is now resolved.
Thanks,

Have lunch mid-post and it turns out the problem is solved before you
click send. Oops! The GNU tools are still good to have on any Windows
box, though. Glad to see your problem is resolved. Now if you can just
fix the double posting problem. ;-)
