I had quite a bit of trouble uncompressing and unarchiving star-1.04.2.tar.Z, and for all of the rest of the non-tech people out there who want star I have succeeded in doing so and will tell you how. 1) $ uncompress star-1.04.2.tar 2) $ tar -xvf star-1.04.2.tar these commands (on unix) correctly and completely unarchived star-1.04 and the same tar commands (-xvf) should work on ms-dos machines ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This life is a test. It is only a test. If this life were not a test, you would have been told where to go and what to do. Thank you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- rbagley@uceng.uc.edu

This is indeed the way to do it, or: $ uncompress ../star-*.3*Z | tar xvf - It is also worth mentioning that all files will end up in the current directory, so create and move to a suitable subdirectory first (e.g. ./star or ./star-sources). -- Jan Brittenson bson@ai.mit.edu Read my lisp: no new classes!
