    Uninstall proceeded successfully

    Resolution:
    The failure of programs to compile could be due to a system problem -- or it could be due to a missing or incorrect copybook.

    To diagnose this problem, Ex Libris staff needs to try compiling the programs independently of the Service Pack install.

    In this particular case the ./alephm/source/copy/BIB_FORMAT file (which is copied into *many* programs as part of their compiliation) had been accidentally modified on this customer's server.

    Substituting the correct BIB_FORMAT file corrected the problem.
