I've downloaded the latest Solaris "tar" (Solaris.bin.Z) from the L- 
Soft site this morning and it seems to not work as intended.

After uncompressing it, chmod'ing u+x and running Solaris.bin, I see  
this:

> <normal output from the script>
> usage: tail [+/-[n][lbc][f]] [file]
>        tail [+/-[n][l][r|f]] [file]
> tar: blocksize = 0
> <more script text>
> We need to unpack the distribution files in this directory. Proceed?
> -n [y/n]

> *.tar.Z: No such file or directory
> *.tar
> tar: *.tar: No such file or directory

I tried removing the '-n' from the tail at the top of the script but  
running it still yields errors about missing distribution files.

Any ideas? Thanks much!
