No, it's not used in ITS. It's just for storing ITS files in a Unix file system, and it has these properties: 1. Binary files are preserved, i.e. survive a round trip. 2. ASCII files are readable in Unix. 3. Line endings are converted from CRLF to newlines. 4. Something with handling a Lisp machine character set. I don't know the specifics. _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
