I did not notice that the file got renamed, I look for further files since I copied the bzip2 and the manual to a seperate folder, and as described, it seems like nothimg happened :-( I thanks ye all anyway and I am very sorry!, I normaly do not write to anyone unless I am screwed up, it seems like I was a bit to fast this time, sorry! BTW! The file I downloaded was ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/bzip2/v102/bzip2-102-x86-win32.exe Thanks Olrik Larsen Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-07 14:12:20] [EMAIL PROTECTED] A small question on the fly (I hope)! Where do I ask Q's about howto for PHP (use of functionality), this one image related ? Thanks Olrik Larsen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-07 14:10:50] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-07 14:10:38] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't reopen unless you say which > file < your downloaded exactly. I think I will bogusify this soon; it's pointless. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
