MPE/iX NOTES
The current MPE/iX implementation of pack converts non-byte stream files to byte stream files
before packing them. File characteristics like file code, record size, and so forth are not pre-
served by this conversion. When you unpack the packed file, it is written as a byte stream file.
For more information on how the current MPE/iX implementation may affect the operation of
this utility, see Appendix A, MPE/iX Implementation Considerations.
