How can I handle the bz2 compressed manuals on Windows?
If you don't have an archiver-tool to handle bz2 files
download the commandline tool from Redhat.
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. x:\windows where x
represents your windows installation drive.
To uncompress the php_manual_x.bz2 follow these simple instructions:
1. open a command prompt window.
2. cd to the folder where you stored the downloaded php_manual_x.bz2.
3. Invoking bzip2 -d php_manual_*.bz will extract php_manual_x in the same folder
Thats it.
In case you downloaded the *.tar.bz2 many html-files the procedure is the same.
The only difference is that you got a file php_manual_*.tar. The tar format is known
to be treated with most common archivers on Windows like e.g. Winzip.
