>I am trying to get majordomo installed on my system.

First question, why? Just to learn about it or do you have something else
in mind?

>I have downloaded perl and I think it is installed properly.

What have you done to test your install? Which version did you install?

>I don't know if I need a shell program to run majordomo. Anyone know?

What are you really asking? cmd.exe is a shell. Are you asking if you
need to run under sh.exe? I don't know for sure, but probably not.

>I have downloaded majordomo.

That's nice. What version did you download and from where? I pulled:

http://www.greatcircle.com/majordomo/1.94.5/majordomo-1.94.5.tar.gz

assuming you tried to pull the most recent available version.

>I can't seem to get it unTARed.

I can only guess what you are doing wrong unless you provide something
resembling a useful error message.

[j:\tmp]gzip -?
gzip 1.2.4 (18 Aug 93)

and

[j:\tmp]tar -v

This is GNU tar version 1.10 - AK 2.58, a tape archiving program.

work just fine here on the archive pulled from Great Circle.

>names in the majordomo TAR file. Any suggestion for a good OS/2 TAR
>program?

I've yet to have any version of gzip or tar fail unless the achive was
corrupted.

FWIW, if you are considering using Majordomo in place of inetmail, I
recommend you consider the building and testing effort this will involve.

Regards,

Steven
