Thuc asks: >tar -xvf 4GLRT.TAR;1 >but the error message said cant open 4GLRT.TAR > >In /cdrom, it shows only 4GLRT.TAR;1 Is that the entire error message? I would expect it to also say something like: ksh: 1: not found in which case your problem is the way the shell is interpreting the semicolon as and "end of command" rather than a VMS-style version number. Try escaping the semicolon with a backslash to correctly interpret the line. ___________________________________________________________ Clem Akins (aka clem@informix.com) Informix Software, Inc (Standard disclaimers apply) International Technical Support Last seen: Poring over 7.3 class notes in Menlo Park.
