Peter,

I had no problem ftping and unpacking the Solaris/Grass binaries from
moon.

Your problem probably was in NOT using the binary transfer mode while in
ftp.  Type "bin" while in ftp, followed by "prompt" to go into non-interactive
mode.  Then type "mget sol*" to grab all of the Solaris/Grass binaries and
the assocated README.  Read the README to make sure you issue the unpacking
command properly, "cat sol.4.tar.Z.* | zcat | tar xvpof -".
