In message <9504200143.AA21826@cs.weber.edu> you write: >Redirecting the ncftp input from /dev/null to cause it to exit on >failure fixes this. Looping can be provided with a shell "while". ncftp does exit on failure (or, at least, when I was installing SNAP-950322 at IETF it did), and the install script doesn't notice the failure and goes on. I spent lots of hours trying to figure out how to recover from having installed everything *but* the bindist. Bill
