Brought down some patches, started to unshar and got the following error:

Hi,
Did you download them directly to the UnixServer or did you pass by a Windows machine ? If the latter, did you ftp binary or text ? It looks as if you did a wrong ftp (should be binary).

Hope this helps,

Hi Mark,

the patches were either downloaded with the ascii turned on or if you downloaded them to your win/nt workstation first and then copied to hp, put them using binary mode. If you are directly ftping them from hp site to your hp, use binary mode of transfer for the download.

Hope this helps.

Do this .. (example) ..

# mv PHNE_24413 PHNE_24413.bak
# dos2ux PHNE_24413.bak > PHNE_24413
# sh PHNE_24413

Hi Mark,

I'd re-transfer the files in binary mode instead of using dos2ux on them. I don't know if ^M could be imbedded in the shar file but since you are talking about patches I'd not chance it.

dos2ux works great on text files though.
