Errors from extract_unbundled

Many thanks to all those who replied! The solution was to edit

/usr/lib/lang_info and add the following line:

        pascal 2.0 4.0

This was not mentioned anywhere in the installation guide that

Sun gives out (at least those that they hand out to site license

people). The only vague reference to this crucial file was in

the section "Getting Help", where they say

        If you have any problems installing...call Sun

        Microsystems...have your system's model number, serial

        number, Sun Pascal 2.0 release number...ready to give

        to the dispatcher...

        To see the Pascal release number, type: cat /usr/lib/lang_info

I have licenses for the server and the number of workstations the

server supports, so what baffled me was how it would not update or

tell you to update the lang_info file after installation.

If you install onto a server, you must manually go to the lang_info

file of each workstation (or use rdist) and add the requisite data.

As a small followup (no summary unless requested), does anyone know

who to send e-mail to for such documentation omissions? My guess is

that this information is probably somewhere in the "Real Manual"

(which is on order, since our site license office does not supply

documentation along with the tapes), but somehow missed making it

into the installation guide.

PS: I found a last minute bug in the filter for the Epson dot-matrix

     printer (I meant to post a summary Monday); I'll post the summary

     late next week.
