RE: [nv-l] sapack command

It's a little off subject - but here's your answer:
I can't take credit for this. I got it from my in-house Framework wizard.
Below is how to extract files from the CD using sapack.

Now, I have a question.......
Your tag-line translates to "GO THE UNTAMEABLE LIONS"
What does that mean? Something to do with Seigfried and Roy ?  :)

Problem

How to examine the contents of the "FILEx.PKT" file on the Installation CD.

Solution

The contents of "FILEx.PKT" can be extracted using "sapack". To get a copy of sapack and use it to extract the contents, perform the following steps.

NOTICE: The following are directions to extract the contents of FILE3.PKT:
1. Create a new directory in /tmp . For example, /tmp/pmr12345
2. Copy FILE3.PKT to /tmp/pmr12345
3. The sapack executable is in "$BINDIR/TAS/INSTALL/sapack" directory.
4. Copy sapack to "/tmp/pmr12345"
5. Set "o_dispatch" to some port not being used and export it as per the following:

o_dispatch=100
export o_dispatch

6. cd /tmp/pmr12345
7. "/sapack -Dinstall_progs=y -u /tmp/pmr12345/FILE3.PKT" unpacks the contents into the directory you are currently in (i.e. /tmp/pmr12345).
