What happens if you uncompress Solaris.bin.Z. That gives you Solaris.bin. Can you tar tvf Solaris.bin ?????

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.

Any ideas?
