I guess that for using it under Windows the only thing that one have to do is, copy it from php4/pear/scripts/pear.in to simple pear, erase the first line and call it so: php -f pear -- -h php -f pear -- package package.xml php -f pear -- install HTTP_Upload-0.6.tgz (or is there a way under windows for making a text file executable?) Please tell me the problems you could have in this step. Then the php windows binary distrib team could kindly include it. Tomas V.V.Cox
