I don't have it handy, but I am sure the book actually said that when you
install DosEmu, you should put that file in /etc, since it only comes
standard with RedHat, and not in slackware.

A. next time download such files directly into the Linux, it will fee
more at home with the character capsing and all.
since, like most Linux files, it is a source that has yet to be compiled,
I usually stick it is a directory like /usr/src or ~/src etc. you compile
it there, and then move the binaries to where you want them, or -
alternatively - it will move them to the righ place by itself.

most of those files are ended by .tgz or .tar.gz or .tar.Z, and they all
mean it was TARed and then ZIPed or GZIPed. one thing is certain: you
absolutly do NOT open them on win95 teritory, since it can't handle some
file names correctly, and DOS tar can't use long filenames, dot files,
case sensitive names etc.
next: tar is made for tapes originally, but I never saw it default to
searching for a tape, what parameters did you give it?
