<question>
<para>
How can I handle the bz2 compressed manuals on Windows?
</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
If you don't have an archiver-tool to handle bz2 files
<link xlink:href="&url.bzip2;">download</link> the command line tool
from Redhat (please find further information below).
</para>
<para>
If you would not like to use a command line tool, you can try free
tools like <link xlink:href="&url.stuffit;">Stuffit Expander</link>,
<link xlink:href="&url.ultimatezip;">UltimateZip</link>,
<link xlink:href="&url.7zip;">7-Zip</link>, or
<link xlink:href="&url.quickzip;">Quick Zip</link>. If you
have tools like <link xlink:href="&url.winrar;">WinRAR</link> or
<link xlink:href="&url.powerarchiver;">Power Archiver</link>, you can
easily decompress the bz2 files with it. If you use Total Commander
(formerly Windows Commander),
a bz2 plugin for that program is available freely from the
<link xlink:href="&url.wincmd;">Total Commander</link> site.

<para>
The bzip2 command line tool from Redhat:
</para>
<para>
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. C:\Windows where C represents your Windows installation
drive.
</para>
<para>
Note: lang stands for your language and x for the desired format, e.g.: pdf.
To uncompress the php_manual_lang.x.bz2 follow these simple instructions:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<simpara>open a command prompt window</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>
cd to the folder where you stored the
downloaded php_manual_lang.x.bz2
</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>
invoke bzip2 -d php_manual_lang.x.bz2, extracting
php_manual_lang.x in the same folder
</simpara>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<para>
In case you downloaded the php_manual_lang.tar.bz2 with many html-files
in it, the procedure is the same. The only difference is that you got a file
php_manual_lang.tar. The tar format is known to be treated with most
common archivers on Windows like e.g.
<link xlink:href="&url.winzip;">WinZip</link>.
