I just tried it on Sparc Solaris and did not get this problem,
so its not a problem with the files.

You need to do a binary transfer (if you are downloading
using ftp), and your 'jar' command must be at least JDK 1.2.

Perhaps someone else has seen these messages and know their
cause.

Cheers,
Bill
