Paul Hite, I sent you email and have not yet received a reply. > [ I tried mailing this, but I don't believe that I ever got through...] Hmmmm... I didn't get any mail from you. But anyway here is what I think you want. Since my posting I have found that the C++ Developer tape is also not understood by update. Both my C++ tape and my C++ Developer tapes are real customer releases. The part number on the C++ Developer tape is B1697-10001 and the Rev is A.00.00. In the script below I first mounted a 128 user license tape and got a table of contents. Then I switched to the C++ Dev tape and attempted a table of contents. Finally, I just use tar to display the files but I truncated the tar listing. I get identical results on two different systems both running 7.0...
