     In more, press enter to advance one line, and press space to go to
     the  next page of output. If you use less, simply use  the  cursor
     keys to navigate the output. More will quit when you reach the end
     of the text, less will not. Use "q" to quit either of them.

  4.6 How do I handle those tar.gz files?
  
     Contributed by: Francois Thunus, John Johnson
  
     Lots of software for Linux can be downloaded in source form,  most
     of  it coming in files with the extension tar.gz. This means  that
     the  file is a tar archive that has been compressed with gzip.  If
     the file was transferred through a medium with DOS filenames,  the
     extension could also be tgz. One way to handle them is to first
     unzip and then untar them:
     
         gunzip filename.tar.gz
         tar xvf filename.tar
        
     On  Linux  tar, you can also use the parameter "z" to  indicate  a
     gzipped archive:
     
         tar xvzf filename.tar.gz
         
     In  any case, it may be a wise idea to look into the  file  before
     actually unpacking it. You can do this with tar's "t" option. Take
     out the "x" (eXtract) part of the tar command lines above and fill
     in the "t" (lisT) instead. You can also use the Midnight Commander
     (mc)  to view the contents: just select the file and press  enter.
     You can also extract files from the archive with F5.

     If  you  see  the extension .bz2 instead of .gz,  the  archive  is
     compressed  with bzip2 instead of gzip. Depending on your  version
     of  tar,  you need to replace the "z" in the commands  above  with
     either  "y" or "I". Or manually uncompress the file  with  bunzip2
     first.

  5.1.1 BBS packages
  
     Additions by: Tom Laermans

     There are quite a few BBS packages available for Linux, both  free
     and  commercial. The right place to ask questions about  those  is
     probably  the  LINUX_BBS echo. They also maintain a FAQ  of  their
     own.

  5.1.2 Fidonet software
  
     Additions by: Mario Mure'
  
     There are different ways to run a FidoNet system on Linux. One  is
     ifmail, see
     
         http://www.average.org/ifmail/
        
     which  is the official homepage. This works mainly  by  converting
     FidoNet messages to newgroups and email, which can then be handled
     with the standard Unix tools for those. Another program which does
     this  is FidoGate, which is used by the fido.de domain,  available
     at

         http://www.fidogate.org/

     There is also a suite of programs available from the Husky Project
     which use native FidoNet formats. See their pages at:
     
         http://husky.sourceforge.net/
         
     The Husky Project website also has links to other FidoNet software
     sites which are not part of the project.
