Hi I also received a further mail which pointed out that '-d' is a bad idea as no backout is possible!! I also figured out it was the CD creation which converted the '-' in the filename to '_' Peter Original Summary ----------------- Firstly thanks to all who replied with varying ideas, too many to list I am pleased to say. My original problem was that a patch (.zip file) I had downloaded would not install. A few suggested "patchadd -d patch_directory_path" which did not work because I had unzipped it on a windows system before writing the CD and the directory was 108528_13 which was created. The following did work Hi, Copy that 108528_13.zip file to /tmp Go to /tmp dir unzip 108528_13.zip then try patchadd 108528-13 /Gayantha The reason was the zip file had '_' and the expansion had '-' in the patch name, simple mistake with weird results. Thanks.
