Further playing around did not stumble upon the operating command for rpm, but I *DID* stumble on something else. Steven provides untar. When I tried to expand the Basic.tgz I used gunzip. This expanded it without comment or complaint, but something was lacking because after changing the file permissions I still could not execute it. I got an error message: "Cannot execute a binary file." Geez, what the heck kind of files CAN it execute ? Vulcan ? No matter, having discovered the untar executeable, I tried the Basic.tgz again with: untar basic.tgz This one IS it. Basic 1.20 or something with docs. Dunno what the heck the rpm is. New version on the way and the working command is above.<g> - Clarence Verge - Back to using Arachne V1.62 ....
