       ./usr/lib/instl
       ./usr/lib/instl/sm_inst.awk
       ./usr/lib/instl/automsg
       ./usr/lib/instl/reject -> /usr/lib/instl/cleanup
       ./usr/lib/instl/cleanup
       ./usr/lib/instl/deinstal
       ./usr/lib/instl/update -> /usr/lib/instl/instal
       ./usr/lib/instl/instal
       ./usr/lib/instl/inu_tape_dd
       ./usr/lib/instl/inubosboot
       ./usr/lib/instl/inurid
       ./usr/lib/instl/migrate_cfg
