First, you have to unpack the archive file in some safe location:

If you have a ``modern'' tar, for example from a recent Slackware
Distribution, you can probably just do a tar -zxvf filename.tgz
and get the same results.

Unpacking the archive creates a directory named
sendmail5.65b+IDA1.5+mailx5.3b. In this directory, you find a
complete installation of sendmail+IDA plus a binary of the
mailx user agent. All file paths below this directory reflect
the location where the files should be installed, so it's safe to work
up a tar command to move 'em over:
