Glad it worked. The unix shell of OSX is much more powerful than the DOS
shell of yore. If you liked that you'll really like what you can do with
unix. It can be a bit daunting because you're no longer in the hotel
lobby with the comfy chairs but rather down in the basement with the
plumbing and wires. You can do many things easily but also wreck still
quickly. rm -r for remove all recursivly has wiped out whole file
systems when run from the wrong location. man is your friend. You can
start with man man to get the manual page about the manual page. I also
like man -k which lets you search the man page for a keyword and not
just a specific command.

Hi Chris Blouche,
That worked like a charm. Thank you very much. This was my very first
successful experience in terminal and this gives me the feeling that I might
start to like it when I study the possibilities. I've been a command line user
because I grew up with ms dos 2.0, and I stayed with it until dos 6.22. I love
being able to tweak things the way I want them, overcoming the most oftenly
wanted settings in a gui.
This helped. Thanks again. The old driver stuff is gone and the new one will
now install perfectly.
Paul.

Looks like a shell script. You should be able to run it from the terminal.
Mmight have to set permissions on it before it will let you. So if the file is
on your desktop and named uninstall.txt then from terminal you would do
something like:
cd Desktop
chmod a+x uninstall.txt
./uninstall.txt
Hope that works. It might prompt you for your root password since it's running
the sudo command (super user do).

Hi list,
I was once using a usb dongle modem to connect to 3g to have wireless internet.
But no more. However, I would like to uninstall the driver for this modem. I
got a text file with it, but can I run this, or what should I do with this one?
Here is the file. Interested to see if you know how to handle it.
#Uninstaller of ZTE Datacard Drver in Mac OS X
#Copyright ZTE Corporation 2006 - 2010
echo "Welcome to use ZTE Datacard."
echo "Now, begining to uninstall ZTE Datacard driver......"
sudo kextunload -v /System/Library/Extensions/ZTEUSBCDCACMData.kext
sudo kextunload -v /System/Library/Extensions/ZTEUSBCDCACMControl.kext
sudo rm -r -f /Library/Modem\ Scripts/ZTE\ USB\ MODEM
sudo rm -r -f /Application/MiniUI
sudo rm -r -f /System/Library/Extensions/ZTEUSBCDCACMData.kext
sudo rm -r -f /System/Library/Extensions/ZTEUSBCDCACMControl.kext
sudo rm -r -f /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
sudo rm -r -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
sudo rm -r -f /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches/
sudo rm -r -f /Library/Receipts/ZTEDatacardDriverInstaller.pkg
echo "......ZTE Datacard driver has Uninstalled successfully."
Greetings and thanks a lot for possible help.
Paul.
