RE: flexfax: Help regarding Hylafax software

Hi,
two answers:
1.) 	to view *.tar.gz or *.tgz files in windows xxx get the sharewareutility WinZip, 
	which is widely available on the net.
	But the Source is for unix only, it will not work with any windows-flavor,
	Because Windows is missing functions and concepts required for hylafax.
2.)	AFAIK there is no way viewing text-files via ftp 
	without downloading them to your local computer.

greetings and have a nice day
	Christoph

Sir,
  I'm writing a program to send and receive fax messasges for my college
assignment. I have downloaded a file "hylafax-v4.0pl0-tar.gz" from
ftp.sgi.com sgi/fax/source , which contains file "hylafax-v4.0pl0-tar".
I'm running win95 and there are no default viewers for this file. Which
program shall I use to view this file ? How to extract the source code
from this file ? 

I'm accessing this FTP site with a shell account. How to view the text
files without "get"ing them to my account ?
