UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hi
i am facing one problem with one file dxagent.ss, this file has most of the binary contents.
when i m running following command on unix machine
tar xpf dxagent.ss
output should be: removing leading '/' from members name. and should create 'usr' and 'var' directory.
but i am getting some error messages after giving "tar xpf dxagent.ss" this command.
these errors are:
Tar: This does not look like a tar archive
Tar: Skipping to next header
Tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Please suggest some solution for these errors.

The file is empty or corrupted.

Usually tar archives have the ending *.tar. Maybe it's a complete different kind of file or broken? What does

Code:

file dxagent.ss

show?

Actully previously i was getting correct output of that file, then i rename that file with dxmon.ss and in the file wheraver dxagent was present i rename it with dxmon.
but after renaming it is giving these tar error.
so i thought this renaming is wrong way to craete this file. what is the other source to create this file.
this is the starting part of file. the binary part is not get copied.
"/usr/man/man1m/dxmon.1m.........

Sorry, hard to understand for me. What do you mean with
Did you edit the tar'ed file somehow or before taring it?
Nevertheless, can't you just create the archive anew or get the file again from somewhere?

I have edit it befor taring.
actually i already have this file for dxagent.ss but i want this same file for dxmon.ss and then i want to tar it with other installation scripts.
so i renamed dxagent to dxmon and even i edit file contents also.
this installer is for solaris platform. do u have idea about .ss or .sw files how these files gets create? or what is role of these files in installation. it seems some sort of tar files.
