MPE/iX NOTES
The current MPE/iX implementation of ci has the following limitations:
• Due to the fact that the comma (,) is not a valid character in MPE/iX file names, the tradi-
tional ,v naming convention is not currently implemented. This means that you must
have a subdirectory named RCS under your current directory or
RCS will not work prop-
erly.
• For compatibility with traditional MPE/iX security features, you can only rename a file in
an MPE/iX group if you own the file or if you have SM capability. Because this command
attempts to rename files to which it may not have write access, this feature can interfere
with the command’s operation. For this reason, RCS archives should not be placed in an
MPE/iX group, but rather should be located elsewhere in the hierarchical file system where
the restriction does not apply. For example, the default
RCSPATH places the archives in a
subdirectory named RCS in the current working directory.
For more information on how the current
MPE/iX implementation may affect the operation of
this utility, see Appendix A, MPE/iX Implementation Considerations.
