If people have trouble the switch to tar.gz should be done very easy. With the tools from redhat you just open a coomand prompt and type bzip (or whatever the file is named) -d php_manual_*.bz2 to get the tar people should be able to handle. To avoid probs I can write a very small tut to put in place how to handle bz2 on win with the tools from redhat..... Friedhelm
