(obscure enough for ya?) > We've got just about the same problem. But the system running the commands is a SUN 3/110 running SunOS 3.5. And then it only occurs when running a c-shell. But it does not matter whether we use either the SR9.7 mount or the SR10.2 mount, both just do not execute. I've posted this already in comp.sys.apollo and comp.sys.sun, (About 2-3 months ago) but with very little response as up to now. I once had a sort like problem: running a SR10.2 script on a SR9.7 system did not work. This was due to diffent file types for the script files under the two OSes. But this is not the case, since a SunOS is not typed. The lost packages could be a cause, especially since I've soft mounted the NFS disks. But I know too little of NFS to investigate on my own. Another clue could be that the Apollo-NFS does not give the beginning of the file in correct shape. This would kill the magic number in the files! Does anybody else have any clues, Willem Jan Withagen.
