	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 “Product Structure Change” in Chapter 1 to see how the product structure has changed, and inTable 1-2 “Feature Comparison” 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.
