You need a program called bunzip2 (companion to bzip2). I'm not sure whether there's a Windows version, but hopefully knowing the program name will make your searching easier. bzip2 creates very compact files but in my experience it's not terribly well integrated with a whole lot of other software. I find it useful for local archiving but not so much for public distribution. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Opening manual - .bz2
Hi, I had to laugh when I saw this! goto http://sources/redhat.com/bzip2 you can get the source code and/or the binaries for various platforms from there. My man wrote this so I read him yr mail and he grinned! bzip2 uses huffman encoding so you can see it won't work with gzip or winzip (which use a different algorithm). But there is a bzip2 library ... Cheers, Donna -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Opening manual - .bz2
PS: You do this: put the file.bz2 in a dir somewhere prompt bzip2 -d file.bz2 Do this: prompt bzip2 --help to get a list of all options. Donna -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Opening manual - .bz2
Read the download page, it tells you what you need to open it. Also, you're the one with the username 'r'. Now whenever I write a message, every single 'r' in it is underlined with a #$%@#$%@ Smart Tag... :) That's annoying. ---John Holmes... -Original Message- From: r [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, April 27, 2002 3:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Opening manual - .bz2 Greetings all, Special greetings to: one brainy dude - Steve, and a REALLLY persistive dude-Michael Vernstein,Nathan,Uchendu,John Holmes for all help.
