installing unstopcp.gz
 

It's been so long since I last installed a tarred file that I've
forgotten how to do it. That's what you get
when you rely solely on apt and synaptic package manager for all
installations.

I have "unstopcp.gz" waiting in /home/elmo. What do I do to install
"unstopcp" ?

Depends. If unstopcp.gz is a compressed file containing an executable
(unstopcp), then just do:
gunzip unstopcp.gz
chmod a+x unstopcp
./unstopcp

If it's not, then who knows? If it's actually unstopcp.tgz, then usually
you would do:
tar zxvf unstopcp.tgz
cd unstopcp

At this point you'd either "./configure; make; sudo make install" or run
unstopcp (depending on if it's just a source tarball or a binary).

gunzip unstopcp.gz
chmod a+x unstopcp
./unstopcp

This did it, loud and clear...so easy when you know how.

Thank you,
