Re: [linrad] Getting going

Hi all,

  On my system bzip decompression is:

   >bzip2 -d filename
   
   then untar

   >tar -xvpf filename

   this puts linrad in its own directory ready to compile

   OR more simply

   >tar -jxvpf filename

   does the same thing in one step


   warm regards,
   john
