Ah thank you! I did not realize all these fine details before I
downloaded TV113... and I suppose, for sake of my own personal
educational, and to save the next poor soul that comes along griping
about the same thing, that I see if your approach is easier.

I have no problems with tar/gz files in MSDOS.
(I have standalone, and DJTAR installed)

It's simply I was not impressed when RH-IDE first appeared; so I'm not
impressed now.  although, I will acknowledge it has improved, in some
ways.

HEY! Don't you start telling us these things.  I'll stop at the
installation version I have now...
