Use the Native Mode Spool File Interface Facility to list, manipulate, and transfer spooled device files (spoolfiles) that are created and maintained by MPE/iX. SPIFF replaces the CM SPOOK program.

SPIFF supports many of the commands of the SPOOK program, and has also been enhanced with the following features:

  • Access to the MPE/iX Command Interpreter.

  • Case insensitive FIND, which you may set as the default.

  • Native mode output display.

  • No LOCKED state for spool files. You can text in a file or output it to tape without changing its state.

  • New STORE and BROWSE commands.

  • Allows use of file equations on $STDINX (the standard input file) and $STDLIST (the standard output file).
