BZIP2 1.0.2

Use it at your own risk, because we cannot take responsibility for crashes, dumps or even worse: loosing data.

Bernard Giroud's script now works with bzip2's Makefile, so you can now download the PCSI kit with the Alpha binaries (384KB). Don't forget to add /usr/bin to your PATH environment variable after installing the kit.

You can still download the previous Alpha binary distribution (199KB) (for installation instruction, see below). You can also download the source disribution (801KB).

Prerequisites:

• OpenVMS 7.3-1 (with most recent CRTL eco)
• GNV 1.5-6

To install the binary distribution of bzip2 do the following:

• enable extended filename parsing

  $ SET PROC/PARSE=EXT
  

  unzip the .zip file on an ODS-5 disk

  $ UNZIP "-V" BZIP2.ZIP
  

• download the following Install.sh script and put it in the bzip2 directory
• enter bash

  $ bash
  

• cd to the bzip2 directory
• execute the install.sh script

  bash$ . ./install.sh
  if ( test ! -d /usr/bin ) ; then mkdir -p /usr/bin ; fi
  if ( test ! -d /usr/lib ) ; then mkdir -p /usr/lib ; fi
  if ( test ! -d /usr/share/man ) ; then mkdir -p /usr/share/man ; fi
  if ( test ! -d /usr/share/man/man1 ) ; then mkdir -p /usr/share/man/man1 ; fi

• add /usr/bin to your $PATH environment variable

  bash$ export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH
  

  you may want to add this to your .profile
