Don't reopen unless you say which > file < your downloaded exactly. I think I will bogusify this soon; it's pointless. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-07 14:07:12] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Guys! Sorry I didn't mean to start a discussion about package programs! It's just my _strong_ opinion to not use 3,4,5.. party tools until widely supported, again: I am sorry for the inconvinience. The bzip2 I used was the latest available on the page that the download page refers to. And I did read the help option for the program, and I also copied and pasted the command line as it is written on your download page. Wether or not the file is corrupted I can not tell but the bzip2 executed without errors and the help shows fine :-| Thanks Olrik Larsen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-07 13:57:54] [EMAIL PROTECTED] winzip and winrar suck and aren't available on every platform and have bad compression. Anyway, the files unpack just fine on w2k with the right tools [tm] (i used cygwin, bunzip2). If it doesn't work for you your tools are broken or you don't know how to use them. It still may be a corrupted file though; but I'm not willing to test every bzip2 on that page unless you exactly tell which one causes you trouble. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-07 13:50:33] [EMAIL PROTECTED] How many zip programs do you need to setup depends on what you already have. We have some recommendations for Windows users in our FAQ. My question was what is the error message. It seems nothing... :(( That does not help too much. Can anyone form the doc or dev team please test a bz2 manual on Win2k with actual bz2 tools? Goba ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-07 13:45:47] [EMAIL PROTECTED] My problem is _exact_ as described I could not extract the file. The bzip2 "chew" on the file for a while and then returned without any responce, _no_ files were extracted ! >> Bzip2 is much smaller, and it works. Well, why not wait using that kind of stuff until an update for the WinZip and WinRara _both_ have been released, so we do not need to install god know how many different package programs ? Thanks Olrik Larsen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-07 12:48:16] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bzip2 is much smaller, and it works. What is your exact problem? The solution should be found, insted of trying to work around your problem...
