Both gave problems while untarring with Solaris tar. But GNU tar worked...

I downloaded the gzipped file from your web site and also from freesoftware.com. I encountered the same problem with both downloads. Are you using FTP to fetch the files? If so, be sure to put your FTP session into binary mode with the "binary" command. If you're using a web proxy server, be aware that some proxies are broken and may corrupt binary data retrieved using HTTP. Syd, et al: it might be a good idea to put md5sums of the files up on the web pages so folks can certify the integrity of their downloads. Ben
