What do I need to do to install this package

After unzipping, changing into the s390tools subdirectory and typing a
make install as root user should do the trick.

so long,

Sounds like you downloaded the source tarball from developerWorks.  Did you?

I'm sure you understand that unless you got this from Novell, it won't be 
supported.  Having said that, I recommend getting your hands on the source RPM 
(.src.rpm) for the current version shipped by Novell, and install that.  Then, 
look at the .spec file in /usr/src/packages/SPECS to see how it was done for 
that version.  Copy the .spec file and modify to work with the source you just 
downloaded and do an rpmbuild against it.

What is in this version of s390-tools that you absolutely can't wait for?

You are correct Mark. I did do to developerWorks and downloaded the tgz file.
There is nothing urgent needed, just thought I would load the tools to a 
development machine and play.
I will remove the old and follow your directions.
Thanks Mark, again you've saved my bacon.
