About file formats

Below we describe the download formats available from this server by their extension. If the file has multiple extensions, this presents a sequence of operations. Thus .tar.gz means files are collected into an archive using tar after which the result is compressed using gzip.
.exe MS-Windows Executable
Unless specified otherwise, .EXE files represent MS-Windows executables for Intel 32-bit windows platforms: Windows 95/98/ME and NT/2000/XP. Most of the .EXE files are self-extracting executables: running them will start the (interactive) installation process.
.rpm RedHat Package Manager
The RPM package format is a popular distribution format on Linux. They are installed by typing

% rpm -i package-file

Unless otherwise specified, packages are compiled on SuSE linux 7.2 using libc version 2.2.

.tar Unix tar archive
Tar archives are single files holding multiple archived files. They are unpacked using tar. There are various ports of this program for other platforms. Many general archive unpackers can deal with them, including the popular shareware program WinZip.
.gz GNU Zip
The file-compression program Gzip is generally used to compress other formats, such as PostScript documentation or tar archives. WinZip can deal with gzipped files.
.tgz Gzipped tar archive
Sometimes used to fit .tar.gz into an MS-Dos 8+3 filename.
.ps PostScript
PostScript is a language defined by Adobe for describing high-quality printed pages. Adobe's PostScript files can be printed directly if you have a PostScript capable printer (most Unix machines), or using GsView on Windows.
.pdf Portable Document Format
PDF or Portable Document Format is a format based on PostScript intended to make documents portable. PDF files can be viewed with various tools, amoung which Acroread and recent implementations of GsView. These tools can also be used to print PDF documents.
