Is there anyway to use inst (or some other tool) to remove a whole subsytem that I installed with inst. I installed the SCCS subsystem under 3.1 some time ago and it was updated when I installed 3.2, but now I no longer need it. Is there some easy way to have all the files associated with that subsystem removed. Also when 3.3 comes along can I not select SCCS and have it not only not install 3.3 SCCS but remove 3.2 SCCS. Thanks, Lloyd lacomb@sierra.stanford.edu

I installed the SCCS subsystem Use the versions(1) command as follows: versions remove SUBSYSTEM_NAME versions(1) by itself will show you what is installed. From within inst you can use "sh" to escape to IRIX and then use the versions command. -- |\/\/\/\/| fsfacca@avelon.lerc.nasa.gov | | | | | (e) (e) | _) ________________________ (c ,_____\ / | | (__( < Oh Yeah, Right! | | / \ Don't have a cow, man | /____\ \_______________________| / \

'versions -v remove dev.sw.sccs' (that's the subsystems' full name, right?) should do the trick for you. In 3.3 'inst' the "Select" menu has changed some so that you will be able to mark dev.sw.sccs for removal (the 3.2 version still on your disk) and this will also mean "don't give me the new one (3.3) either." ---- "A superior, yet deeply flawed, product..." keving@gaffa.wpd.sgi.com
