Hi all,

I'm hoping to install phpdocumentor which I have down-loaded as a 'tgz'
file to my windows machine. I'm not actually familiar with tgz files and
have no idea what I'm actually meant to do with it.

What does one do with a tgz file?

..tgz, is an abbrevation of ".tar.gz", and is unix specific. On unix system
one traditional; first tar (Tape Archive) directories and files, and then
compress them with gunzip (gzip) - tar does not compress. The file you have
is borth tared and gziped, but instead of naming the file filkename.tar.gz,
it has been (as is common) named filename.tgz.

WinZip should be able to handle gzip (and tar I think).

You can open it with a compress program like WinZip.
After opening, you can trace the contents of files.

I've found an incredibly useful compression utility for windows called
7-zip. It handles zip, tar/gzip, bzip, and a specialized 7-zip utility
that can compress even more (by using a larger library). I don't use
the 7-zip compression itself all that much, but the utility itself is a
nice (and free) application.
