Dave,

   Can you pull all of the Solaris Packages offline for a while.  This
is wierd.

I tested a couple of these before sending them over and I just ftp'd all
4 of them
and they all fail as indicated above.  I'm going to recompile 1.45 and
remake 
the package, test it again, send it over, wait for you to repost it, and
then 
grab it again to make sure its still good.

thanks,
alan
