yogaboy -> emacs, gzip and tar (11/13/2004 13:04:59)
|
I thought I'd do myself a favour and try out Emacs... oh dear[:@]
I don't have winzip so I downloaded gzip and tar, so in my little directory I have
emacs.tar.gz
gzip.exe
tar.tar.gz
I run the following line in a (beloved) DOS window
gzip -c -d emacs.tar.gz | tar xvmf -
and it tells me it doesn't recognize tar as a program. I run gzip -c -d tar.tar.gz (thinking, "perhaps I need to unpack tar????") and I get a billion lines of code spew through the DOS window.
Has anyone else done this successfully on Win2000 or XP, because I'm tired of getting instructions for Linux come up in searches.
My head is about to explode!!!!!!!![:(]
