Guys!

I am extreemly sorry ! Hmm!
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

A small question on the fly (I hope)!

image related ?

Thanks

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.
