It's a two step process.
1.) compress -u GCC1371.tar.Z
2.) tar xvf GCC1371.tar

No. You do need the compress program though. If you don't have it,
it's available for downloading off my bbs. File: compress located in
the 'unix_fmaint' files area. Data line number should be in my .sig.

The problem is with your host system that denies you access to 'tar'. If
it helps any I also made availble the 1.37 of GCC for ESIX. It's in a file
called 'gcc386.tar.Z' located in the 'unix_c' files area. It is only the
executables and doc, file size is 327K so it should take 4 hours to
download at 2400.
