1. uncompressing the bsd file
Hi,
Im fairly new to freebsd and linux type OS and I am trying to install euphoria
on my freebsd system. I have managed to install euphoria and to create my
environment variables but I am having trouble unzipping the "replacement exu
file" I need to run euphoria. The reason I cant do it is because I dont readily
know how to unzip a .zip file from a unix console,(I cant seem to find the right
utility and/or argument list). Furthermore I am not even sure if this question
belongs on a unix type mailing list or this one. Any help is appreciated.

This would be the right place. I'm pretty sure BSD comes with unzip.
Try typing unzip eubsd24.zip
You should get two files,
exu
README.TXT
copy or move exu to /euphoria/bin, and change the permissions as
necessary.

This is somewhat of an oversight by RDS. It really should be a tarball.
Anyway,
you can try to use this unzip utility:

Hey thanks,
Freebsd didn't come with the utility but it was easy enough to get. I probably
tried to get too far ahead of myself trying to install euphoria without first
having a solid understanding of some of Unix' basic things but I really wanted to
get some programming done while Im learning.
