Cygwin
Cygwin - yup - a lot of messing about - (there must be a simpler way).
Anyway, I've got the pdf files open now and they are readable.
Mission accomplished - cheers. 8o

Guest repliedWhy not transfer to the unix box, gunzip and transfer the result back?
All I know is that I need "x86/Linux", but futher hints and installation tips are contained in the document that is currently zipped. I'm no Linux wizz, but I'm guessing that I should be ok with Red Hat?
I really need to unzip this documentation. I could ftp it to a webserver I use, (which is Linux based), but I don't have telnet access which I assume I would need to run guzip on it?
Any ideas?
(Summary):
1) I need to unzip and read documentation.
2) I need to choose Linux version
3) I need to purchase machine and install correct Linux
4) I need to install code from SourceForge and carry out research/investigations.

Guest started a topic Document.tgz to read on WindozeDocument.tgz to read on Windoze
I was interested in reading a .pdf file that has been packed-up on SourceForge as a document.tgz (tar-gun-zip?). Is there any easy way of unzipping this on a Windoze machine with access to a Unix host?
Any ideas? 8oTags: None
