New Features of MPE/iX: Using the Hierarchical File System

Listing File Information 

The PRINTFILEINFO intrinsic has been enhanced to display file attributes
and access options introduced with MPE/iX Release 4.5, including new
record formats, file types, and directory types.

The file creator field of the PRINTFILEINFO display has been
enhanced to reflect the new concept of file ownership (in the form
username.accountname).  The file creator display field (identified by ID
IS...)  has been moved to the line following its past position and given
the new identifier FILE OWNER:....  Even files whose labels express only
the creator name (in the form username) display the fully qualified owner
name.

Beginning with MPE/iX Release 4.5, file names expressed using HFS
absolute pathnames (pathnames beginning from the root directory) may
contain 1024 characters.  The PRINTFILEINFO intrinsic prints a wider
display (79 characters instead of 50 characters) if called to display
information on a file whose pathname exceeds 32 characters in length.
Pathnames greater than 62 characters in length are wrapped to following
lines.

Following is an example of a PRINTFILEINFO display of a file whose
pathname exceeds 62 characters in length.
