User guide for MSS command migration available

This document contains the new MSS commands that became the default in November 1996. The new MSS commands are designed to be more UNIX-like and to be more POSIX compliant. The migration document provides several command conversion charts.

This document provides information to help you migrate from using the old Mass Storage System (MSS) metadata commands to using the new MSS metadata commands. Metadata commands manipulate information such as filename, access times, ownership, accounting information, passwords, retention periods, and comments.

The MSS command conversion document is available in hypertext form at
