I just downloaded (hopefully successfully -- the Download Director
became unresponsive) the PTF group for IWS/IAS. It's sitting on my
WinDoze desktop as a .bin file.
Now how do I get it onto our V6 box? The .txt file that came with it
isn't very informative, and the link it gives to the DisInfoCenter (and
the instructions on where to go therein) seem to have been intended for
some other universe.

Transfer the bin files to a share on the i. Create an image catalog, use
addimgclge to load each bin into an image catalog (they're actually iso
files.) Then wrkimgclg to load the image catalog to your virtual cd
device (which you need to create too, if you haven't already -
CRTDEVOPT.) Then just go ptf and option 8.
BTW, Fix Central downloads no have an FTP option. I've used it a couple
of times now. You don't need to deal with download director anymore. You
specify the ftp delivery option, and a few minutes later, you get an
email with a URL that you can either use from the i (FTP) or from a PC
of any flavor that can map a shared drive on the i. I've got an old
windows box under my desk that works great for that. The directions
specifically tell you to map the drive. I did that, so don't know if you
can use a UNC path. Very painless, if somewhat time consuming, so don't
use your laptop. The latest cume + hypers took almost a day to download.
Here's a shell script you can use to load multiple volumes to the image
catalog. Doing that by hand is a little on the tedious side too:
#!/usr/bin/sh
# Load all of the .bin files in a directory to image catalog PTFCLG
if [ -d "$1" ] ; then
cd $1
# The "\" character is an escape, not a path separator. File name must
end in ".bin"
for iso in $(ls -1 *\.bin) ; do
system "ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(PTFCLG) FROMFILE("\'`pwd`/$iso\'")
REPLACE(*NO)"
done
else
echo "`basename $0` : Load image catalog PTFCLG with the bin files in
a directory."
echo "Usage : `basename $0` /path_to_the_directory"
fi
