-The ''.tar.gz'' archive is the most basic distributable package that available. The archive contains the entire directory structure of the binaries and libraries as they should appear on the file-system of the host from the root directory (i.e. ''/''). The default directory structure is prefixed with ''/usr/local''.+The ''.tar.gz'' archive is intended for arbitrary installs, meaning that if you can't install ''sac2c'' using one of the other packages due to system permissions, you can use this archive to install it under you home-directory. The libraries of the compiler can be placed anywhere so long as the ''sac2c'' binary (and related) know where to find themFor this reason the archive provides the ''sac2c'' binary (and relatedas source code to be compiled by the end-user.
