I recently downloaded a version of MPlayer but the archive is a type I've never seen before. the file name is MPlayer-1.0pre6.tar.bz2, and I've never seen the .bz2 extention. Can I use tar to unpack this, and what options should I use, or do I need another utility to do it? Thanks. -- dan Murphy mailto:mweeby@verizon.net MSN only: mweeby@earthlink.net http://mysite.verizon.net/mweeby
