Dear Anand:
    I tried gunzip (gunzip tclspice-0.2.11.tar.gz) on tclspice-0.2.11.tar.gz
on my RedHat Linux 8 system and it properly creates tclspice-0.2.11.tar. I
can then untar that file with 'tar -xvf tclspice-0.2.11.tar' and it unpacks
into the tclspice directory just like yesterday. Unfortunately, I dont have
a Sparc/Solaris 8, so I cant go too much further other then to say, it does
work under Linux, and I know it is a valid gzip file, so try doublechecking
your incantations and try again. It should work.

    When you get it unzipped, go to its src/tcl directory and read README.
The compilation instructions for the tcl nuance are there. For the
impatient, they are:

./configure --enable-tcl --enable-experimental --disable-shared
make tcl
make install-tcl

I have heard recently that you might need to ensure your Tcl/Tk installation
is compiled with threads enabled, so you might check that one if you have
any running issues.

When you get to that stage, please let us know how you are doing.

Charles
