Now who'd a thought, easier to extract Ross's printer's ppd file from the
windows driver pack than the MacOS X pack :-)

Thought some of you might be interested in the following article (link below).

What is the advice on a harddrive that is linux compatible. One that's about 100Gb would be nice :) Is there anything I should be wary of should a shop assistant try to swindle me. I'm not a huge hardware purchase
How about 'mscompress'

We've just been through this. What does file say? What are the first
bytes of the file? Try cabextract
Thats fine if you are extracing a cabinet file, and i quite regularly
use cabsxtract. However that wasn't the question :)
Cheers, hows the printer going with that ppd file?

Well, it should be called "barf", there's ample reason for it.

last letter of the extension replaced with a underscore.

In windows 2k one can run the expand utility like:

Yes. Searching http://modules.apache.org/ digs up 2 or 3 modules for
