I downloaded the .tar file - what do I do with it? Do I unzip it over the old installation? There's no EXE in there ...

I think that's the Linux version...is that what you wanted?

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

No. :) I just saw there as an update, went to download it, and got a .tar file.

I suspected it was a *nix update, but wasn't certain.

If you're looking for a .exe, then a tarfile is probably exactly what you don't want :).

Make sure you pick the 'Windows' link for whatever version of the client/viewer you're looking for (I'm assuming you're looking for a binary/installer, and not source code).

Good luck! :)
