IMHO, the proper way to do what you need to do is with GNU tools. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Go to http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ and download the GNU Unix tools |
| 22 |
for Windows. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Use bunzip2.exe to decompress the archive. If you know the md5sum, you |
| 25 |
can also use md5sum.exe to check your archive too. There is no file.exe |
| 26 |
however, so I don't know how you can determine what kind of file it is |
| 27 |
that you end up with. If you need help using the tools, there is a |
| 28 |
man.exe, but there aren't any pages for it to read. Instead, use the |
| 29 |
--help switch to get an idea of how to use each tool. |
| 30 |

IIRC Service Pack 2 provides TAB-autocompletion for Windows XP. If you |
| 32 |
have that and if you throw all those tools into your path, it'll be the |
| 33 |
next best thing to being at a real computer. |
