You probably have lynx on your system. It's a text based browser which will automatically uncompress the giz zipped files and show you the README inside. That way you dont have to use gunzip to uncompress them. Just change to the directory where the readme is and type "lynx ." The dot stands for the current directory. You can then scroll to the README.gz line and hit enter and it will display it. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Lake University of Technology, Sydney Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Ph: 02 9514 1724 Fx: 02 9514 1628 Linux enthusiast, active caver and interested in anything technical. -------------------------------------------------------------------- UTS CRICOS Provider Code: 00099F DISCLAIMER ===================================================================== This email message and any accompanying attachments may contain confidential information.
