Quartam and Galaxy on Linux

[Peter Alcibiades]

OK, one can live with this given authoritative reports of someone running it 
happily on Ubuntu.  

What about Quartam, which does have a trial version?  Am I doing something 
completely idiotic, that I cannot get it to unpack for a trial on Linux?  
Trying to unzip the installer leads to a message that its not a valid 
archive.  Has anyone actually run this, and how did they do it?

I've a real need for something like this, and the remark about awk was not a 
joke.  I really am going to have to rewrite a huge spreadsheet into something 
else, for performance reasons, and awk is the thing that offers itself since 
I don't know Perl.  

Quartam seems a lot more fun, if I can get it to run.
