    I think the busybox gzip will have to do while Greg is using only a loop 
system.

   I have now uploaded the sylpheed_manual.tgz package to my website at: 
http://www.ausreg.com/bl/bl3
which will simply install into the correct directories by using pkg.  Nothing 
else is required. 

   BTW: in the new sylpheed_manual.tgz I have also included the FAQ - which 
weren't in the previous ZIP file.

    No, it is set up to use lynx by default (see my previous post).

    There is no manual in the mc package, and remember that Greg is using a 
loop system with little spare room.

     For the moment it might be better just to keep it simple and 
uncomplicated until Greg is ready to branch out into a hard disk 
installation, where filesystem space is not at such a premium.

Regards,
         Ron
