I'm don't have a Reliance phone but I thought I'd take a look at this software
anyway. It was quite funny.
$ tar tf rconnect-cmdline-1.0.tar
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[Uh oh... not a tar file? Hmm... let's see if the website says anything]
"Download the rconnect-cmdline-1.0.tar and extract the tar file using the command
tar -cvf rconnect-cmdline-1.0.tar"
[??!! tar -c _creates_ an archive]
$ file rconnect-cmdline-1.0.tar
rconnect-cmdline-1.0.tar: gzip compressed data, from Unix
[Ahh... comedy of errors]
$ tar zxf rconnect-cmdline-1.0.tar
$ cd rconnect1.0/
$ ls

Q: Do you ever think about quantum computing?
Linus: I think that's a load of bull.
(From a Linux Lunacy cruise interview. After the presumptuous disparagement
of QC, Linus goes on to confuse it with DNA computing.)
