Thanks to everybody for your assistance. I have passed this info on to some
of our programmers that have UNIX clients.
I have also learned a couple basics about UNIX, like Bourne Shell Script is
the standard scripting language on UNIX.

UNIX:

#!/bin/sh
# This is a comment, the 1st line above is a special comment:
# it tells UNIX to invoke /bin/sh (the standard command interpreter
# for scripts to process this script
# adjust your PATH to your needs
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:
# export your PATH into the environment
export PATH
# no need for echo off, this is kind of default
echo "To run this installation please type (at the CD-ROM prompt)"
# UNIX has no drive letters, all drives ( if mounted ) should be
accessible under the directory '/', the root directory
if [ "X$1" != "X" ] then
# 1st parameter ( $1 ) is not empty, I suppose $1 should contain the
# base directory of your stuff
# note: put white space between 'cd' and the directory name
cd /
# cp does not create directories, you have to create them
yourself
mkdir $1/DB543/
mkdir $1/DB543/SERVER
mkdir $1/DB543/SERVER/SCRIPTS
cp /SERVER/SCRIPTS/Install.bat
/$1/DB543/SERVER/SCRIPTS/Install.bat
# output redirect >NUL would be in UNIX: >/dev/null
# but cp won't give any messages except an error occurred
# so we can omit this
fi
# note: 'fi' means end if
$1/DB543/SERVER/Scripts/Install.bat $parm1 $parm2 $parm3
sqlplus system/manager@db

Just a few notes:
This is just a try to "translate your DOS Batch file"
Be sure to make your scripts executable:
chmod +x yourscript and
chmod +x $1/DB543/SERVER/Scripts/Install.bat
In Unix there is also no need to call a script '.BAT'. You can
simply call it 'install' or
if you like to 'install.sh' to indicate that is is a Bourne Shell
Script (standard scripting language on UNIX).
Unix is case sensitive.
I don't know exactly what you are going to do with parm1, so I can't
figure out more...
Hope this helped a bit.
