    Bela,

    Thank you for the reply and sorry for the lack of detail. My posting was an
    afterthought and I did not have the details at hand.

    I downloaded using the SCO Openserver 5.0.7 ftp with prompt set to off and
    type set to I (bin). The error message is as follows:

    These verification errors have occurred.
    The file "./opt/L/SCO/Unix//5.0.7Hw/usr/lib/mkdev/fd" has checksum
    1852926661, expected 1852026533

    And yes, I did mean LFPS.
