The fix I had him make was also not pretty, but the best I could do over the phone.thelenm: OK, get to a shell prompt. customer: All right, I'm there. thelenm: Type "R M space dash F space" and the name of the file. customer: Uhm... thelenm: No, no, just listen. Now type "C A T greater-than space" and the name of the file. thelenm: Now, listen very carefully.... Sorry, couldn't resist. ;-) The closest I came to this was when I worked for a scientific computer manufacturer, and we delivered a computer to a client. I realized when it booted that the interface driver that had been shipped with the machine was way old. I had written most of it, so I pulled up the file in vi, called back to the shop, and asked them to read me the text of particular subroutines. It was not a pretty sight. And yes, there were choice words when I got back.
