How can I handle the bz2 compressed manuals on Windows?
-
If you don't have an archiver-tool to handle bz2 files
» download the command line tool
from Redhat (please find further information below).
If you would not like to use a command line tool, you can try free
tools like » Stuffit Expander,
» UltimateZip,
» 7-Zip, or
» Quick Zip. If you
have tools like » WinRAR or
» Power Archiver, you can
easily decompress the bz2 files with it. If you use Total Commander
(formerly Windows Commander),
a bz2 plugin for that program is available freely from the
» Total Commander site.
The bzip2 command line 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. C:\Windows where C represents your Windows installation
drive.
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:
-
open a command prompt window
-
cd to the folder where you stored the
downloaded php_manual_lang.x.bz2
-
invoke bzip2 -d php_manual_lang.x.bz2, extracting
php_manual_lang.x in the same folder
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.
» WinZip.
