Don't you see what I am doing? I am debugging the documentation.
Debugging code and manuals is a skill which I have. I have
schizophrenia and autism and I hate reading manuals. Please tell me
the correct instruction to replace this one so that I can continue to
debug the documentation.

>> tar -xvzf fpc-2.4.2.i386.tar

Your assistance will be appreciated and the dividends will be
corrected documentation.
