How about this script:

<?php
exec("bzip2 -d php_manual_de.html.bz2");
?>

No, to be serious, I did write some mails on this list here, to
stay with .tar.gz and I still think, it is the best for _all_ users.

Gabor is right when he says, that Windows users should learn, but
there should be an easy way for _all_ users. Since most Windows users
are not familiar with command line tools, it is better to offer
some format which can be unpacked via a GUI like Winzip.

Just my 0,02 DM (damn Euro ;)
