A couple of other guys suggested unzip. These files are NOT zip files,
in fact I can't recall the last time I saw a MS distribution file that
was. I also tried lharc and it doesn't seem to see the contents of these
files either.
What I have is a set of fonts that appear to be freely downloadable from
the MS web site which I'd like to unpack. I know I could go to a Windoze
box and install them, but I'd rather just extract the parts I want and
put them where I want them rather than doing a MS-style install.
I seem to recall having seen a reference to a tool that could do that but
can't think of either its name or where I would have seen the reference.
Any furhter ideas?
thanks again!
