Some HP-UX 7.0 update tapes left out the files /usr/lib/spell/hlista, /usr/lib/spell/hlistb, and /usr/lib/spell/hstop. Restoring ones from a previous backup worked for us when we saw this problem. In fact, we converted to a `trusted system', which means we reinstalled the whole system, and our tape was also missing a whole fileset with a bunch of the header files in it. The Response Center and our local SE took care of it fast, but I hope they grumbled loud at QA at the distribution center... >>Walt
