    <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
      <ulink url="&url.bzip2;">download</ulink> the commandline 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 <ulink url="&url.stuffit;">Stuffit Expander</ulink>, 
      <ulink url="&url.ultimatezip;">UltimateZip</ulink>,
      <ulink url="&url.7zip;">7-Zip</ulink>, or
      <ulink url="&url.quickzip;">Quick Zip</ulink>. If you
      have tools like <ulink url="&url.winrar;">WinRAR</ulink> or
      <ulink url="&url.powerarchiver;">Power Archiver</ulink>, 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
      <ulink url="&url.wincmd;">Total Commander</ulink> site.

     <para>
      The bzip2 commandline 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.
      <ulink url="&url.winzip;">WinZip</ulink>.
