can anyone tell me how to install/compile munpack into my web directory in my webhosting cos i don't have access to the shell command line

[Peffis]

Well, in that case you will need to compile it somewhere else, such as on a linux machine at home, or find an already compiled binary.

You can grab mine if you like because I've made my linux compiled binary available for download at http://www.hellkvist.org/munpack. Let me know once you have it though as I don't really want to distribute binaries.

...as for how to install it....I think you would have to ask your web host for how to do that as it depeds on the system setup. Perhaps it's not even possible to execute external binaries on your webhost.

thanks - i got it is the binary meant to have a .txt extention? thanks again Peffis, i'm sure everyone appreciates your web creation and the desussion support

[Peffis]

No it should not have a .txt extension. It should only be "munpack". The txt-extension is probably your browser's fault. I take it you are running under windows as that is probably the reason why it wants to add the extension. You will have to make sure it stores it as it is and makes no "to text"-conversions or else it won't execute properly. If you continue having problems executing it I can try and make a zip-file for you instead.
