[»] Comes in .tar.gz...
by Colin - Aug 20th 2003 05:52:10

I needed this for a Windows box to grab a file in .tar.gz format, but the program itself comes in a .tar.gz format :/

So you have to get a different program that comes in a .exe or .zip format first...

You can download the untarka.exe from the same place, but Freshmeat doesn't have a field for .exe files.

Get it from
http://sources.redhat.com/bzip2/

If you use Linux, it might be available as a package in your distribution.

You can try untarka without bzip2 support. Just remove the -DHAVE_BZ2LIB from the gcc command line.
