I would like to know where i can download the binaries for gnu tar and gnu gzip for various platforms ( aix64, hp64, hpia64, intel, linia32, linia64, linx64, solus64, solx64, winx64
)
Thanks,
Normally they're compiled within the OS in question or installed from vendor-supplied packages rather than being installed precompiled from tarballs or some other form of download from GNU. You'll probably need to get a copy of the operation system in order to build or acquire them.
gtar
and check for failure to run it.

gtar
and gzip
. Make it a requirement of *nix systems that they be installed. Your users will only get angry if you throw at them some binary which may or may not work depending on their system configuration, so make it their problem. They can handle it, really.
