Re: Is the installer broken?

OK.  I have to admit that the initial attempts scrolled well past the 
cmd window buffer so I assumed the errors were due to the crtl crts 
commands.   I did try swapping the namefmt from 0 to 1 and back as well 
(I thought I saw some errors).  So, here is the initial output of the 
original script with none of my modifications:

ftp> quote site namefmt 0
550 Current directory requires name format 1.
ftp> quote crtl LIBHTTP
250 Library created.
ftp> quote crts file(LIBHTTP/qclsrc) rcdlen(92)

ftp> cd LIBHTTP

200 Representation type is ASCII nonprint.

200 PORT subcommand request successful.

......and on and on and on.

All the files end up in my home folder and the file members do not end 
up in the source files.

Looks like is it choking on the "ftp> quote site namefmt 0 " command to 
start with (which is why I tried it both ways).
