+ How can I handle the bz2 compressed manuals on Windows?

+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ If you don't have an archiver-tool to handle bz2 files
+ <ulink url="&faqurl.bz2;">download</ulink> the commandline tool from Redhat.
+ Win2k Sp2 users grab the latest version 1.0.2, all other Windows user should
+ grab version 1.00. After downloading rename the executable to bzip2.exe.
+ For convenience put it into a directory in your path, e.g. x:\windows where x
+ represents your windows installation drive.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ To uncompress the php_manual_x.bz2 follow these simple instructions:
+ 1. open a command prompt window.
+ 2. cd to the folder where you stored the downloaded php_manual_x.bz2.
+ 3. Invoking bzip2 -d php_manual_*.bz will extract php_manual_x in the same
+folder
+ Thats it.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ In case you downloaded the *.tar.bz2 many html-files the procedure is the same.
+ The only difference is that you got a file php_manual_*.tar. The tar format is
+known
+ to be treated with most common archivers on Windows like e.g. Winzip.
