I might be over cautious on this, but I'd be sticking my foot in my mouth if my poor little box never boots again. The ERROR line, where wc reports the word count differs. Is this because HPUX's wc is going to report a different value?
The MD5SUM of my output files are as follows: 0c377ae454dbedbb10f367a21a588183 CB1X0061.frm 341bc48a5cee3141643441c95e15fb5e CB1X0061.text The text of the script running was: (similar to a .shar archive, but less portable?) x - CB1X0061.text Compiling unpacker for non-ascii files /tmp/ccoIozpO.o: In function `main': /tmp/ccoIozpO.o(.text+0x28): the `gets' function is dangerous and should not be used. x - CB1X0061.frm [compressed] ERROR: wc results of CB1X0061.frm are 18143 114551 2400256 should be 18143 74702 2400256 Thanks.
