Comment:

The packages I download from www.sunfreeware.com seem to have problems. the problem is that once I downloaded the packages (binary and gzipped), I gunzip the package and it doesn't come out to a tarball file (.tar) and I can't use tar -xvf or anything else to install.... has anyone came across this problem?
