Hi,

I don't think you can open the file on a windows platform.

# This is a shell archive. Remove anything before this line,
# then unpack it by saving it in a file and typing "sh file".

# Only user "root" may unpack this archive.

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/catia/Utils/nickel.shar

Hi,

As far as I remember, the file should be copied (ftped) to an hpux server. Open the file in vi and edit it according to instructions at the top of the file.
Unpack it with sh nickel.shar

hi all,
after i sh the file.how do i can zip the directoty?what is the command line?

[Fred Ruffet]

Depends... do you have zip installed on the machine ? if yes, "zip name.zip directory" should be ok. type "zip" by itself to have an help message.

hi,

as per the guidelines, you should do the following:

1. Download the shar file (ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/catia/Utils/nickel.shar)
2. sh nickel.shar to create the executable and man page
3. execute /opt/contrib/bin/nickel
HTML output is created under /tmp/nickel..

hi again,

if you run /opt/contrib/bin/nickel, it will create a file nickel..tar.gz in your current directory.

you can ftp the file and open/extract the files using WINZIP.

rest is obvious!

hope this helps!
