I had the same problem today except that I downloaded the whole thing in one file. Then fiddled around with it renaming it to all archive names I could think of. No way. At the end I looked again around on the Sun site and fond the answer: You have to do a 'chmod 777 ...file.bin' and then execute the file. It's some kind of a selfextracting archive. I hope, it helps with your 10 files too. Regards Manfred Sindhoff
