install of Oracle message files

[pipo]

here is the pb : I have 804 on a Unix box, and I can only connect using the console. Oracle is installed only in english, and I need to get french message files (msg and msb).
I have the CD, which contains .msg_ and .msb_, but I dunno how to generate the usable files from these underscored ones ...
they are neither compressed not packed ...
does anyone know how to un pack these _ files ???

here's the solution...

Some platforms compress message files on the CDROM.
oiuncomp must be run on each file that is copied from the CD-ROM.

For example, to copy the French message files from a CD,
you have to follow steps similar to this:

$ORACLE_HOME/orainst/oiuncomp /cdrom/md/mesg/sdof.msb_ $ORACLE_HOME/md/mesg/sdof.msb
$ORACLE_HOME/orainst/oiuncomp /cdrom/md/mesg/sdof.msg_ $ORACLE_HOME/md/mesg/sdof.msg

oiuncomp only exists in $OH/orainst if the Installer was previously installed. It can be run directly from the CD-ROM if needed.

However, version 8.x requires the products to be reinstalled for the message files to be installed.
