    Hi all

    I'm trying to un-bz2 and un-tar the sources for the Megatunix
    unix/linux software for programming the Megatune EFI controller.
    Aminet seems to be having issues tonight, and a cursory search of this
    site didn't reveal the software I need.

    this will likely be a can of worms for a non-coder like myself, but
    having looked at the Win32 version of the sources
    (AAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH!!!!) and then the *nix versions, (the annotated
    source is in html on their webpage, bless 'em :-) well at least I can
    sort of understand (I think) what the code is doing and what it needs.
    But, annotated source on the web and the real tarball are, I think,
    two different things.

    The file I need to unpack is megatunix-0.7.10.tar.gz. Once I get that
    unpacked, then I get to see if my long-past geek gadgets install on
    this machine works. Its been a veeery long time since I looked at
    that stuff..

    Thanks in advance :-)

    This is opensource code, so I think I can redistribute it, unmodified
    in its original form. Its only a meg or so. I've attached it hoping
    Targ doesn't kill me..

    Right. tar.gz means it is packed by gzip btw.
    1 + 1 = 3 with very large values of 1

    Oops, well Voyager didn't seem to like the attach feature much, so I
    guess it isn't attached :-/

    Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try them!
