zcat(1) MPE/iX Shell and Utilities zcat(1)
MPE/iX NOTES
The current MPE/iX implementation of compress converts non-byte stream files to byte
steam files before compressing them. File characteristics like file code, record size, and so
forth are not preserved by this conversion. When zcat decompress the compressed 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.
