If you tried to open it in Winzip (which can open tar files and
tar.gz files) you can see if it is the Solaris or the file.
To have Winzip do the tar.gz rename it to simply .tgz ...
You could always transfer it from your PC if you do it this way -- if
you are running Samba on the Solaris it is trivial.
