NOTE The product structure of the STORE and TurboSTORE/iX products has changed for MPE/iX Release 5.5. Some of the features have been placed or kept in the STORE/iX program in the MPE/iX Fundamental Operating System (FOS), and the rest have been consolidated into the two TurboSTORE/iX products listed above. See Table 1-1 in Chapter 1 to see how the product structure has changed, and Table 1-2 in Chapter 1 for a comparison of features in the new products.
MPE/iX, MultiProgramming Executive with Integrated POSIX, is the latest in a series of forward-compatible operating systems for the HP 3000 line of computers. In HP documentation and in talking with HP 3000 users, you will encounter references to MPE XL, the direct predecessor of MPE/iX. MPE/iX is a superset of MPE XL. All programs written for MPE XL will run without change under MPE/iX. You can continue to use MPE XL system documentation, although it may not refer to features added to the operating system to support POSIX (for example, hierarchical directories). Finally, you may encounter references to MPE V, which is the operating system for HP 3000s, not based on PA-RISC architecture. MPE V software can be run on the PA-RISC (Series 900) HP 3000s in what is known as compatibility mode.

The characters must be entered in the order shown; however, you can enter the characters in either uppercase or lowercase. For example: COMMAND can be entered as any of the following: command Command COMMAND It cannot, however, be entered as: comm com_mand comamnd italics In a syntax statement or an example, a word in italics represents a parameter or argument that you must replace with the actual value. In the following example, you must replace filename with the name of the file: COMMAND filename bold italics In a syntax statement, a word in bold italics represents a parameter that you must replace with the actual value. In the following example, you must replace filename with the name of the file: COMMAND(filename) punctuation In a syntax statement, punctuation characters (other than brackets, braces, vertical bars, and ellipses) must be entered exactly as shown. In the following example, the parentheses and colon must be entered: (filename):(filename) underlining Within an example that contains interactive dialog, user input and user responses to prompts are indicated by underlining. In the following example, yes is the user's response to the prompt: Do you want to continue? >> yes { } In a syntax statement, braces enclose required elements. When several elements are stacked within braces, you must select one. In the following example, you must select either ON or OFF: COMMAND { ON } { OFF} [ ] In a syntax statement, brackets enclose optional elements. In the following example, OPTION can be omitted: COMMAND filename [OPTION] When several elements are stacked within brackets, you can select one or none of the elements. In the following example, you can select OPTION or parameter or neither. The elements cannot be repeated. COMMAND filename [ OPTION ] [ parameter] Conventions (continued) [...] In a syntax statement, horizontal ellipses enclosed in brackets indicate that you can repeatedly select the element(s) that appear within the immediately preceding pair of brackets or braces. In the example below, you can select parameter zero or more times. Each instance of parameter must be preceded by a comma: [,parameter][...] In the example below, you only use the comma as a delimiter if parameter is repeated; no comma is used before the first occurrence of parameter: [parameter][,...] |...| In a syntax statement, horizontal ellipses enclosed in vertical bars indicate that you can select more than one element within the immediately preceding pair of brackets or braces. However, each particular element can only be selected once. In the following example, you must select A, AB, BA, or B. The elements cannot be repeated. { A} |...| { B} ... In an example, horizontal or vertical ellipses indicate where portions of an example have been omitted. In a syntax statement, the space symbol shows a required blank. In the following example, parameter and parameter must be separated with a blank: (parameter) (parameter) The symbol indicates a key on the keyboard. For example, RETURN represents the carriage return key or Shift represents the shift key. CTRLcharacter CTRLcharacter indicates a control character.
