Downloading & Installing WP8....

1999-01-07 Thread Kenneth Scharf
If you downloaded the file using netscape then it may already have
been run through gunzip!  Check the size of the file!  I have seen
this behavior from netscape, where it detects the file type, and saves
it using gunzip as a filter!  Sometimes though it keeps the file name
the same.  Try renaming the file to WP8.tar and then run it though tar.

I just downloaded the WordPerfect 8 GZ file from the Corel Ftp site...
I downloaded the single part version (I saved the file as WordP8.gz)

When I go to unzip it (using gzip -d), I get an error saying that the 
file is not a GZipped file...I downloaded it with Netscape 4.5 (which 
thank God installed flawlessly...)  

What should I do?

Thanks,
Brant

Netscape does gunzip it during download. You now have a tar file.

tar xvf filename

to untar it.
