trouble installing PH 8.43.D1 for AIX

[Darren Reely]

I thought the CD downloads were *.tar.Z files for Unix. The Solaris name 
looks something like ph843d1_sol.tar.Z. Is that what you received for 
AIX, or was it already decompressed and extracted on the CD. If so, 
maybe they used Windows software for that, which might not be a good idea.

Despite Dirk's response, I found carriage returns in a script will stop 
it from running. At least on SunOS. It didn't matter if linefeeds were 
also there. I get odd results if only carriage returns are the end of 
line. The first run gives the below result well a second does nothing.

When carriage returns + line feeds are the end of line I get the below 
result.

Here is my execution and response.
.../dreely-> ./test3.csh
./test3.csh: Command not found.
../dreely->

By the way. It didn't matter if the first line on the script used ksh or 
csh in my case.

You could try fixing the files, with the tr command, but your install 
file should already be clean.
    tr -d "\015" < test3.csh > test4.csh
