The presentation is all HTML. If you don't have the right tools to 
unpack the tar.bz2 file, you can still see it by following the "view 
online" link Stefan put on his web site:
http://www.dsp.sun.ac.za/~stefan/octave-aims/index.html

I think maybe your browser (Internet Explorer?) may be doing something 
funny to the file extension. I downloaded it and got a tar.bz2 file 
rather than tar.tar. I think double file extensions like this confuse 
some Windows programs, which want to insist on only one extension. Also, 
if you have cygwin installed, you may have tar installed somewhere on 
your system without knowing it--try it from the cygwin prompt.

And, Stefan, nice presentation!
