My IBM 8870 at the cellars has one. It's useful for many things. The best thing is: it heats up the hole house cause of it's power consumption. But I'm kidding :-) >> Now tried 2 install hamm, also failed. dinstall says: "File Error: There >>is a problem extracting the Base System from base2_0.tgz." >I believe the utility is called "star".

"star base2_0.tgz" doesn't work, star uses standard input. I'm fully used to it, tried "star < base2_0.tgz" and "echo base2_0.tgz | star". Both result in "Error in archive format" or so. Ben
