[pca] Problems reading patchdiag.xref file

[French, David]

I'm not Martin, nor do I have that xref file, but is the file you copied
from the CD in Unix format?   I ask as I have seen problems with things
like this (not  pca per se) when there is a CR/LF and not just a LF
ending each line.  dos2unix can help if that is the issue.
 
Just a thought.

	Hi , 
	   Having problems with pca reading patchdiag.xref files taken
from Sun eis DVD . 
	Here is an example from --> 
	## PATCHDIAG TOOL CROSS-REFERENCE FILE AS OF Aug/22/08 ## 

	root at iecssa10# /app/patching/scripts/pca --xrefdir=/tmp -l 
	Using /tmp/patchdiag.xref from Aug/22/08 

	ERROR: Can't parse input from /tmp/patchdiag.xref: 
	  102228|04|Nov/20/96| | |O| |Unbundled|sparc;||OBSOLETED by
104121 

	pca is having problems parsing long lines , I have the most
uptodate pca . 

	Looks like pca will only parse patchdiag.xref files that are
downloaded from Sun .
