Hello everyone,

Please excuse the rookie question, but I can't figure out what's going on.

I've downloaded the JDK 1.1.7 from the Jazz web server.
The installation notes say to issue the command:

   shell/iX> tar -xovpf JDK117.web60.tar

and that the result should be the extraction of the following three files:

    /JAVA/INSTALL/JDK117B.vv.tar.Z          (where vv=55 or 60)
    /JAVA/INSTALL/README
    /JAVA/INSTALL/JINSTJDK

When I do this on my system, the result is:

   tar: blocksize = 20
   x /JAVA/INSTALL/JDK117B.60.tar.Z, 26129403 bytes, 51034 tape blocks
   1101 blocks
   If you want to go on, type device/file name when ready

with no files extracted.  Perhaps I'm being dense, but I don't know what
device/file name I'm supposed to enter.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim Kanihan
