Recently there was a change in the archive format of the downloadable
documentation - from tar.gz and zip to bz2. A link to a FAQ article
describing archive programs for the Windows platform was added in the
left pane of http://www.php.net/download-docs.php .

The bz2 format is new and not common on Windows platform - which is
used by the majority of php users and programmers. Furthermore, the
linked programs "Ultimate Zip" and "Quickzip" do not work properly with
bz2. 
Using the bz2 format violates the rule of "least astonishment" and is
harmful to the positive image of PHP as being user friendly.

Thus I propose to return to tar.gz or .zip format for the doc files.
