Summary: Solaris/gated problems

My problem was resolved by downloading binary compressed version of the gcc
compiler from ftp.opcom.sun.ca in directory /pub/binaries. A few of you
e-mailed me the binary of the gzip and gunzip compression programs, so I may
use that to uncompress the C compiler.

Thank to all who replied (list below).
