Additional comments Documentation consists of a manual which closely resembles the UNICOS Data Migration MSP Writer's Guide, publication SN-2098. Both a LaTeX manuscript and a postscript version are available. As this documentation contains both a lengthy description of the FTP MSP and installation guidelines, any README files were deemed to be unnecessary.
The FTP MSP has been tested in two different environments: in one, files were migrated to an IBM ES/9000 running under VM, in the other, to an RS6000/980 running under AIX. Unfortunately, Ultranet has so far proved to be unreliable, thus necessitating transport via (the slower) Ethernet.
