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 Windows Commander, a bz2 plugin for that program is available freely from the <ulink url="&url.wincmd;">Windows Commander</ulink> site. </para> <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.

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>. </para> </answer> </qandaentry> </qandaset> </chapter> <!-- Keep this comment at the end of the file Local variables: mode: sgml sgml-omittag:t sgml-shorttag:t sgml-minimize-attributes:nil sgml-always-quote-attributes:t sgml-indent-step:1 sgml-indent-data:t indent-tabs-mode:nil sgml-parent-document:nil sgml-default-dtd-file:"../../manual.ced" sgml-exposed-tags:nil sgml-local-catalogs:nil sgml-local-ecat-files:nil End: vim600: syn=xml fen fdm=syntax fdl=2 si vim: et tw=78 syn=sgml vi: ts=1 sw=1 -->
