I just discovered the same problem. Just untar all the *.nif-files with
the "tar zxvf file.nif"-command (and NOT with the "gzip -dc file | tar
-xf -" as written in the README.install) then do the registration as
shown in the README.install by hand. Thats all. 

Btw. you should be in the target-directory (I guess
/usr/local/netscape). 

Hope it helps, Gernot
