There can be some questions we can't put into other

<question>
<para>
Where did the pop-ups go on the website?
Can I have the code for that?
</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
The yellow pop-up windows on the old site were pretty cool, but
were very difficult to maintain (since some companies seem to
enjoy changing the way their browsers work with every new release).
</para>
<para>
All the code for previous versions of the website is still available
through CVS. Specifically, the last version of shared.inc (that had
all the Javascript and DHTML to do the popups) is available
<ulink url="&faqurl.popup;">here</ulink>.

<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="&faqurl.bz2;">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="&faqurl.stuffit;">Stuffit Expander</ulink>,
<ulink url="&faqurl.ultimatezip;">UltimateZip</ulink>,
<ulink url="&faqurl.7zip;">7-Zip</ulink>, or
<ulink url="&faqurl.quickzip;">Quick Zip</ulink>. If you
have tools like <ulink url="&faqurl.winrar;">WinRAR</ulink> or
<ulink url="&faqurl.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="&faqurl.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. 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="&faqurl.winzip;">WinZip</ulink>.
