Dear Dr. Antas,
The problem was not due to lack of decompressing software.  It was a glitch
in Windows (what, another glitch? I can't believe it!) that instead of
adding the .bz2 suffix after the .pdf suffix, Windows just duplicated the
pdf extension (.pdf.pdf) leaving the file unrecoverable unless manual
renaming was done.
Anyway, thanks for bringing another option for decompression.  I'll give it
a detailed look soon (as the rule goes for all your emails).
Regards,
Daniel

Asunto: [Care2002-developers] Problems opening compressed files (.gz, .bz2,
.zip) in windows

Hi fellow developers,

As I will continue to suggest links with compressed files of the type .gz,
.bz2, .zip and other, I would like to recommend a program to those of you
who still use Windows.

The *7zip* program is free/open source and deals with all the major formats
used in Windows and Linux. It is smaller, faster and compresses better than
Winzip or Winrar (I am a previous *heavy* user of Winzip and Winrar).

The author is very "open source spirited" and I was even lucky to see him
including some of my suggestions about missing features.

A free program with clever algorithms and a supporting author, could one ask
for more?

If you want to know more or download it, go to: http://www.7-zip.org/


J. Antas
