| FYI, 
be careful running sapack on your TMR/MN. Not only will it unpack the files 
located in the PKT file, but it will also run any installation scripts 
associated with the PKT file. That is why you have to set o_dispatch to 
something other than what oserv is using. If you caution on the safer side, you 
can copy sapack to your workstation and extract the files your looking for using 
the same procedure (less set o_dispatch, assuming your not running a MN from 
your workstation).

  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 ?  :)
 Don Davis ---------------------------------------------------- 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. 
  ======================= Don 
  Davis First Citizens Bank Raleigh, NC.  27603-3526
 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).
