Well, bzip2 is supposed to say nothing.
If you do:
bzip2 -d file.tar.bz2
it seems that nothing happend, but bzip2 unpacked the file, and removed
the .bz2 extension, and now you have file.tar!
You can unpack file.tar with GNU tar or with Winzip or similar.

Don't reopen unless you say which > file < your downloaded exactly. I
think I will bogusify this soon; it's pointless.

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

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.

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?
