New Comment:
I think there are a lot of links to programs for Windows which extract
bzip2. And since we will (according to Simone's comment) switch to .zip
and tar.gz/.bz2, I close this bug. IMHO it is no real "bug", since
everyone is able to extract the files.

Uh, it seems like I was the only one missing from
LinuxTag ;(( I still have examtime... BTW we already
agreen on providing BOTH bz2 and tar.gz but as only Jim
Winstead can modify this, and (it seems) he had no
time to do it, it's not done... ;((

I have brought this issue to Rasmus attention during LinuxTag 2002, and
he agreed that it is a Good Thing to go back to tar.gz or even to
provide both zip and tar.gz for download

There is still only bz2 as archive format for the HTML manual.
How about offering both and counting which format is downloaded most?!

To make the point clear: HTML-help is great on Win-machines - so thanks
for the good work to the people who did it!
bz2 will be fine as soon as Winzip supports it.
For now: Let's get tar.gz back asap.

We have special formats for PDAs, we have PDF which is
quite system independent. So I still don't know why we
have gone too far with a special HTML Help format?
BTW we already agreed on hosting the .tar.gz formats
again, just noone activated the builds and downloads
again...
