Hi,
I'm having a hard time using tar to install ant on MPE 6.5. For those
of you that aren't familiar with ANT, it's a utility to similar to
'make' on steriods. I've download the tar file and tried the following
command from the Posix shell.

Below is just a snippet...
Any clues?

More info on ant can be found at http://jakarta.apache.org/ant
