Robin,
You downloaded from here
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/ant/release/v1.3/
right?
Did you read this on that page?
"This is release 1.3 of Ant. It is available in both binary and source
distributions. The tar files in the distribution use GNU tar extensions
and must be untarred with a GNU compatible version of tar."
If I made that somehow bigger, would you have read it?
