Re: FREE -- Oracle 8i download for NT and Solaris...

has anyone been able to download this tar file correctly. It seems to be complete waste of time to go through and download a tar if it has been corrupted from the get go. All the files have the wrong filenames and nulls fill the void. It could be encrypted by a key but ustar and cpio and tar do not work. Any replies would be helpful. Also, the technet.oracle.com zips seems to corrupt. dev60.zip is not a zip? What's going on at oracle that all the developers tools are being posted corrupt. The Linux EE is also bad. K.
