Message Files
Outgoing ARPA Messages (HP Desk to Foreign)
This file contains ARPA or ARPA/Compressed format messages taken from one
node queue, which are intended to be delivered to a non-HP Desk site.
Its characteristics are the same as those given by the MPE command:
BUILD name;REC=-80,,,ASCII
The only difference between a message in the basic ARPA format and one in
ARPA/Compressed format is that the latter has the original HP Desk
Distribution List and part numbers removed from the information content
of the message.
The file contains text in a stream format, that is, the text is packed
and contains embedded Carriage Returns and Linefeeds; the 80 byte record
length is arbitrarily superimposed on the data stream. The fixed record
structure within the stream format renders the format suitable for
systems like RJE that depend on "card images".
Within the file, each message is preceded by a message header which
contains addressing and message identification information. Each message
header is delimited from its corresponding message content by a double
Carriage Return/Linefeed (CRLFCRLF).
The format of the messages is a subset of the ARPANET standard described
by the document RFC 822 - Standard for the Format of ARPA Internet Text
Messages. This standard does not define how messages are to be delimited
from one another. HP Desk FSC uses an 8-bit form feed character (Hex 8C)
to indicate the start of each message, that is at the start of each
message header and its associated text.
For ARPA Reference, each message has an ARPA header followed by one or
more file references. Each file referred to must be read by the external
application program and transported to the foreign system. The files may
be of any MPE type. The start of each message is indicated by the hex
character 8C, filenames are separated from the relevant header by a
double Carriage Return/Linefeed (CRLF) and from each other by a single
CRLF.
Incoming ARPA Messages
Apart from record length, the structure of incoming ARPA files is the
same as that of the outgoing files described above. Since the file is in
stream format, the record length has no meaning in MPE terms, the only
restriction imposed is that the record length of the file must not exceed
255 bytes.
Within the text, lines are delimited by embedded Carriage Return and
Linefeed characters.
