[rescue] How the fsck do I install gzip from a "depot" file on an HP-UX 10.20 box?

[Loomis, Rip]

For the categorical answer, see the HP-UX
porting center at
  http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/
or the "centre" at
  http://hpux.connect.org.uk/

More specifically, the key thing is that
you need to not only un-gzip the depot
file, but use swinstall as follows:
  swinstall -s /path/to/utility.depot utility
in other words, you need to identify (as a
third argument to swinstall) what
thing it is you are trying to install out
of that depot file.  If the depot file is
superneato-v1.2.3.4-hpux1020.depot,
then you need to specify "superneato" as the
name of the utility.

See also the archive FAQ, question 5-6:
  http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/answers/5-6.html
noting that the hppd archive FAQ is separate
from the comp.sys.unix.hpux FAQ also searchable
from the site...

And yes, this is a PITA, but not half as bad
as trying to use the GUI version of swinstall
from inside SAM...
