UNPACKP version B.00.02

UNPACKP is the command file used to unpack MPE/iX patches downloaded from the IT Resource Center web site. For more information go to http://itresourcecenter.hp.com - under MPE/iX Individual Patches.

This version of UNPACKP eliminates the file ACD problem.

Instructions for installing:

Download the UNPACKP command file with your Web browser to your PC or Unix workstation. 
Use ftp to copy UNPACKP to your HP3000 system: 

PC to HP3000 method:

- Open an MS-DOS or Command Prompt window on your PC.  
- Follow the steps in the example below. This example assumes that the file is named C:\DATA\UNPACKP, and that <hostname> is the hostname of your HP3000. 

  C:\WINDOWS> cd \DATA
  C:\DATA> ftp <hostname>
  ...
  Username: manager.sys,install
  331 Password required for MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL. Syntax: userpass,acctpass
  Password: <your passwords>
  230 User logged on
  ftp:> type tenex
  200 Type set to L (byte size 8)
  ftp:> put UNPACKP ./UNPACKP
  ...
  226 Transfer complete.
  ftp:> quit

HP3000 to PC/Unix Workstation method:

Alternatively, you may want to transfer the file by running FTP on your HP3000 host, which requires your PC/workstation to have an active FTP server. To run FTP from the HP3000 host, first make sure you're logged on as MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL. The following is an example of a transfer from a Unix system. It assumes that the filename on the Unix system is /tmp/unpackp, and that <hostname> is the hostname of the Unix system.

:ftp.arpa.sys <hostname>
...
Name(manager): <your login>
Password: <your password>
...
ftp> cd /tmp
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> type bytestream
200 Type set to I.
ftp> get unpackp UNPACKP
...
226 Transfer complete.
ftp> bye
