Good. That makes you the second recorded user.

Sorry, I was assuming that bzip2 was a standard tool in linux. I did
put the instructions
bunzip2 -c poplog1553.linux.libc5.nox.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
(lots of potential variants on this one, see the bunzip2 and tar man
pages)
in the README file on the ftp site, but if you just clicked a link to
download the tar file, you wouldn't have seen the README until after you
had managed to unpack the archive for yourself.

Beware that things have changed a bit over the years. Mostly for the
better, I hope, but you may find that some POP2 constructions won't
work. And there are a great many things that you can do now that the
book won't mention.
