What does the ".toc" have in it ?

Did you do an "install_all" ?

Is it a bff, or is it perhaps a mis-named compress-tar archive ?

Our application vendor finally approved using 5.x for their application,
and I need to install Java 1.3.1 on AIX5. I have downloaded the
Java.rte.tar and untarred it. I go to install the package through SMIT and
I get the following message when I try to list the packages available to
install.

Following is the installation directory contents.

I have tried deleting and recreating the .toc. I have tried deleting and
allowing smit to create the .toc. Is there a different fileset for Java131
on AIX5 than the one that is used for 4.3.3? Has anyone else seen this
problem before?
