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
inTable 1-2. 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 .
This book, the STORE and TurboSTORE/iX Products Manual describes the processes and
procedures for using the STORE, RESTORE, and VSTORE commands. Specific directions for
using your hardware is not described in this book. Refer to your hardware documentation.
