I have definitely downloaded the fop-0.20.5-bin.tar.gz
file, and not the source version.  I would like to try
out Ant soon, but I'm still wondering what my problem
with the binary version is.  I suspect that I've just
missed something very basic in how I structure my
directory.  As it stands, I just have the above file
unpacked with StuffIt---oddly and perhaps
significantly, the suggested tar -xzf approach made it
cranky:

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

because even with StuffIt turned off, a download still
just gets me a straight fop-0.20.5-bin.tar on the
Desktop, not fop-0.20.5-bin.tar.gz.

Unless I'm missing something, though, I don't think
the file truncation issue is what's going on, and so I
just have said tar unarchived with StuffIt and plopped
on the Desktop directory as a plain folder directory
("fop-0.20.5").

Perhaps, then, this is the problem?  While Apache just
says to unarchive the tar into a "directory/folder
that is convenient on your system," is there perhaps
some further step involved in placing specific files
in specific places that I have missed?

Regarding Peter's suggestion, i.e.

trying that I got a similar response:

-bash: fop.sh: command not found 

Again, it seems that somehow I'm not managing to get
the fop command into an accessible position.  Any
suggestions?  Thanks for your help so far!
