I got a UNIX file , the file name is "ABC.REL;1" , how to use the file ? thx.

mount the CD using -o cdcase
#mount -o cdcase /dev/dsk/xx /SD_CDROM

It depends what you want to do with it. You can put it in single quotes i.e.
ls 'ABC.REL;1'. If there are no other files of a similar name in the directory then you can use wildcards i.e.
ls ABC*.
You could always rename it i.e.
mv 'ABC.REL;1' newname

Is this file in a directory or on a CD you have mounted?

If it's on a CD you can try mounting the CD with -ocdcase option.

Why don't you be more descriptive in where you have the file (CD/DDS/disk/...), and what you want to do with it (rename, copy, move, ...) and what kind of file you expect it to be (or as suggested run file on it).

the file is on the CD.

[BFA6]

In that case use

mount -ocdcase /dev/dsk/cxtxdx /cdrom

hi,
try mounting the cd with the -cdcase option.

hi,

man mount_cdfs.

cdcase Suppress the display of version numbers.
Show and match file names as lower case.
