Here is what at is anouncing after tar -xvf xfree86-4.0.3.tar

"
tar: Archive contains `"\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\374\216\355\266"' where numeric time_t value expected
tar: Archive contains `"\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\374\216\355\266"' where numeric time_t value expected
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
"
and even if I used the result of the /usr/X11R6 produced by this
package and start the startxwin.bat from the DOS-shell I am still getting
the same problems.

Could you tell  me please what I am doing wrong!!!
