Any directory will do.  It's probably more convenient to 
use a directory in the path (like /bin), but you can suit 
yourself.  Usually, I gunzip a binary into /tmp and try it 
out.  If I decide to keep it, I move it to /usr/local/bin

A very common library, used by many Slackware packages
(eg. groff).  Most users will probably install it sooner 
or later.

Yes, that's the one.

It's in the /slakware directory.

Over the next few weeks, I'll probably be storing several
more add-ons there.  A kind BasicLinux user in Australia
recently made that space available.
