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 ? :)

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).
