Re: Delection of ----/rdbms/mesg directory

I can't give a solid answer to your question, but assuming you have copied the files back to the correct spot, i.e. $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/mesg, then is it possible you have got compressed versions ? (Shouldn't be, given it's a CD distribution, but since it is an early one ...)

If so then there is an Oracle Uncompress utility, in the orainst directory, or possibly bin directory with a name like ouncomp (or something like uncompress with a leading o).

I worked out how to use this once, so it can't be too difficult - I think it gives some explanation, or meaningful error message if you just type the name.

This may get you started.

I have a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques for my revue
Miss steaks eye cannot sea

I've run this poem threw it
I'm shore your pleased to no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My chequer tolled me so
