The IDs in the base note are patch IDs.  I packaged them up in a
mail message and fired them off to him since he was having trouble
accessing the public patch query web page.

Note closed.

OK, here's the latest--
(I modified dupatch a little bit-- it was looking for patchnames with 5 zeroes, 
but the patch kit stuff that you have me only had 4 zeroes.)

# pwd
/patches/v4.0/patch_kit
# ./dupatch

Enter path to the patch kit (the directory containing ./kit and ./doc),
or enter "q" to quit dupatch: /patches/v4.0/patch_kit
./dupatch: /patches/v4.0/patch_kit/kit/instctrl/OSFPAT00003400400: not found
# ls -al /patches/v4.0/patch_kit/kit/instctrl/
total 13
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     system       512 May  2 13:45 .
drwxr-xr-x   3 root     system       512 May  2 13:45 ..
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     system      2201 Mar  3 16:19 OSF.image
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     system         0 Mar  3 16:19 OSF400.comp
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     system       366 Mar  3 16:16 OSFPAT00003400400.ctrl
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     system        80 Mar  3 16:16 OSFPAT00003400400.inv
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     system      1565 Mar  3 16:16 OSFPAT00003400400.scp
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     system       366 Mar  3 16:16 OSFPAT00003600400.ctrl
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     system        82 Mar  3 16:16 OSFPAT00003600400.inv
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     system      1565 Mar  3 16:16 OSFPAT00003600400.scp


I don't know what's missing there.  There is a file that matches the filename 
being checked for, but when I copied that file (from .../patch_kit/kit to
.../patch_kit/kit/instctrl)
the script bailed out on me again.

****example****
# pwd
/patches/v4.0/patch_kit
# cd kit
# ls -al

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     254       348160 Mar  3 16:19 INSTCTRL
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     system     40960 Mar  3 16:16 OSFPAT00003400400

drwxr-xr-x   2 root     system       512 May  2 14:06 instctrl
# cp OSF* instctrl
# ../dupatch

Enter path to the patch kit (the directory containing ./kit and ./doc),
or enter "q" to quit dupatch: /patches/v4.0/patch_kit
cd to /patches/v4.0/patch_kit/kit
ls ls OSFPAT?000*
/patches/v4.0/patch_kit/kit/instctrl/OSFPAT00003400400: syntax error at line 2:

Thanks for all your help!

This is needlessly complicated, and I have to accept some blame
I've another tar file with a slight correction to 
dupatch along with some additional files which I didn't realize were
required the first time I put everything together.  I will
send the new tar file in another message.

I will be at a conference next week and will not be able to 
help you directly after tonight.  I don't expect there to be much 
of a problem since I tested this on my machine and things looked
good.  If you do need help again, please call the 1-800 number as
before and reference log number 3576.  Another engineer will 
handle things.

My apologies.
