Hi All, I downloaded dosemu and got a tar file. Now remember I don't know a whole lot about Linux and so I managed to copy the file to a directory I created. I then went to the directory and tried tar -x filename and heard nothing. Only control-z or was it -c worked to get me back to the prompt. So how do I extract the contents of the dosemu file and run the program? I presume I can extract the files in the directory I have created for them which I am sitting in. -- Charlie.
