I thought that the OP would have used "WinZIP" as the typical first candidate, given the fact that .tbz means "tar bzip2" archiving and compression. So that program should havve been fine. > By the way Poly, FreeBSD does not handle all types of compressed files > natively any more than Windows does.

It can handle everything that tar, cpio, pax, compress and (of course bzip2 (belongs to the OS!) and all other native tools utilizing libarchive addresses. I'm quite confident that this is a better "out of the box support" than what "Windows" has to offer because handling archives usually involves manually downloading and installing 3rd party programs, like "WinZIP" or "WinRAR". Of course I do not claim "all types", e. g. for RAR archives you also need to have the system install the proper program, but who uses RAR anyway (except the packagers of warez)... :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
