Unpacking
Unix users should download the .tar.bz2 archives; these
are bzipped tar archives and can be handled in the usual way using tar
and the bzip2 program. The InfoZIP unzip
program can be used to handle the ZIP archives if desired. The
.tar.bz2 archives provide the best compression and fastest download
times.
Windows users can use the ZIP archives since those are
customary on that platform. These are created on Unix using the
InfoZIP zip program.
