• The command line interface of SAPCAR is downward compatible with the command line interface of CAR. The only two exceptions to this are: During extraction, SAPCAR checks the file name extensions of the archives you want to extract from. The extensions '.CAR' and '.SAR' are both valid. The option '-s' for checking the free space on the target filesystem is only valid for displaying the contents of an archive.

The option is no longer valid for extracting files. For example, the command 'SAPCAR -tsf ARCIVE.SAR' is valid, but the command 'SAPCAR -xsf ARCHIVE.SAR' is invalid. • Pay attention to the fact that the archive format changed for SAPCAR.

All other SunOS releases contain the required runtime libraries. Use the command 'pkginfo fgrep -i SUNWlibC' to check if C++ runtime libraries are installed. HP-UX: You possibly need a patch containing the HP C++ runtime libraries. Since March 1997 HP delivers these patches worldwide every two months on an Extension Software CD to CD-ROM customers of HP with support (see Use the command '/usr/sbin/swlist -l product fgrep -i PHSS fgrep -i aC++ fgrep -i runtime' to check which C++ runtime environment is installed.
