   Folks,   
      
   Trying to understand the exact mapping of the files in the un-official MCP/ACP    
   FP6. Looking at the individual OS2.1, OS2.2, OS2.3, etc...directories there is   
   a   
   file present called SRV_PROD.OS2. This appears to be the 'map' for the fixpack    
   tool to know which file goes where (or so my uneducated OS2 thinking goes at   
   the   
   moment...lol).   
      
   Basically, sample contents follow (OS2.4 directory of FP6) :

   It's a somewhat binary file which obviously has some type of a record layout    
   that needs to be deciphered.    
      
   Is there a tool out there already that does this? If not, does anyone know the    
   record layout?   
      
   Just to help out a tad, the file is somewhat self explanatory, you can tell   
   what   
   the 'product' the particular files need to be applied to given the 1st record    
   (or more if multiple levels are applicable). Then you see the listing of each    
   individual file, along with the proper destination path. I would like to have   
   a    
   utility which can decipher this for me automatically. The fixpack tool already    
   does this obviously, but how can I get at this info in a human readable form    
   first?   
      
   Thanks as always!!!
