I _thought_ I'd applied all the 3005 updates, but I can't find man (or info) pages for the TransScript stuff. Did I miss something on the tape? -- Pat Wilson Systems Manager, Project NORTHSTAR paw@northstar.dartmouth.edu

Did I miss something on >the tape? Probably not. It is my opinion that the installp on the 3005 tape (and maybe previous versions) are not at all well. I had the same situation occur on my machine. Install just refused to load the txtfmt.ts.obj lpp until I asked it to do that single one by itself; otherwise, it would go through all its (painfully timeconsuming) gyrations, then end up not installing some things. And it wasn't really straightforward, either. Some lpps were claimed to be older or the same as the ones already installed (which they clearly weren't), and some just didn't load without a peep. This is how I got in trouble when I installed; some lpps weren't installed, and then I had different versions of the X server and bos - a documented problem which made X and GL do all kinds of strange things. Once you go and force install to overwrite newer (older :() versions, things get better. I asked my SE to send me a list of the current versions of all the lpps so I could cross-check and make sure everything that should have got installed actually did.
