Hi,

I want to view the files for Links SQL without doing the installation. I can't install it on my Win 98 machine - but I have Perl running and have the .dat file. I was reading the install.cgi file to try to figure out an easy way to do what I want, but I can't do it.

Does anyone have some code I can use to expand the .dat file simply? So I can move the .dat file into some dir, add expand.cgi and just run it, and the .dat will be changed into all the files/dirs?

Better yet - Can the good ol' .zip or .tar.gz versions of the files be available in the member section so we can get the files without having to setup a system to run the script?

Thanks.

Michael Bray

Why can't you extract the files on Win98?

If you have perl then just execute install.cgi (after updating the path to perl)

Hi,

Rename install.dat to install.tar and use Winzip to extract it. =)

Cheers,

Thanks Alex :-)

Paul - Install.cgi was giving me an error message for some reason when I tried to run it. I don't have DBI etc setup on Win 98 (Only know how to install them on *nix), so I don't think Install.cgi would have proceeded anyway.

Just for future reference I installed Apache, Perl and MySQL on Win98 (used the binaries of all).

To install DBI just go to Start > Run > ppm

Then...

ppm> install DBI

Hope that helps!
