It's even easier: yum install arj However, here's a true story from few years ago (without names, so we don't embarase anybody). A very big multinational company needed to reprint old course material for a client (it was about an old and EOL version of its OS). Their HR people found it on the company internal servers, but they could not "open" it (as Win* people describe what happens when they double-click on an icon) So, I asked them and they sent it to me. Using "file" shown that it was an ARJ, containing PowerPoint files (one per course chapter) written in a *very* old PowerPoint version. So: arj -> ~25 .ppt files -> OO.o -> ~25 PDF's -> pdftk -> One PDF Sent the resulting PDF for printing, got a huge "thank you" from them, did the course, life is good. Now, let's see if you can find a working Exabyte tape-drive ;-) -- Oron Peled Voice: +972-4-8228492 o...@actcom.co.il http://users.actcom.co.il/~oron "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." -- Gandhi _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
