I do have a man : page for it. It looks like the following link was overlooked, which will be added in the next release of the shell: ln -s /SYS/HPBIN/UNCOMPRE /bin/uncompress You can just execute this shell command on your system as a workaround. The problem is because UNCOMPRESS has more than eight characters, and so the actual MPE-named program file in HPBIN.SYS is named UNCOMPRE. The link in /bin should have had the full name, however, but doesn't on C.50.00. By the way, the link for ps is also missing from /bin, although not due to the eight-character name problem. You can create it the same way: ln -s /SYS/HPBIN/PS /bin/ps This, too, will be fixed in the next version of the shell. Kevin Cooper HP Commercial Systems Division
