Hi, Two AIX 3.1 commands which I need for AIX/PS2 (1.2) are: 1. dosformat (seems to me that it's a must on PS/2 platform) I know that I can use DOSmerge, but why open a DOSmerge virtual terminal, if all I want is format a DOS diskette (and after that I'll doswrite on it). 2. catman (particularly the -w option for the creation of whatis db. IBM/Locus - any solutions/suggestions ? /Zvika Zvika Bar-Deroma Phone: (+972)-4-292706 Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, Fax : (+972)-4-231848 Technion Haifa 32000 Israel BITNET : AER7101@TECHNION Internet : AER7101@TECHNION.TECHNION.AC.IL UUCP : ...!uunet!pucc.princeton.edu!technion!aer7101

I've checked my PS/2 and it has the /etc/catman command and the -w option goes along with it just fine. Is something not working correctly? -- John F.

Is something not working >correctly? Yes - I RTFM (AIX/PS2 commands ref., SC23-2025) and it wasn't there, whereas the "parallel AIX 3 manual does show it. It may be due to the fact that the manual is not the 1.2 one; the online manual pages does have an entry for catman. >-- >John F.
