How does e-Space compression affect file attributes?
It doesn’t. Other than the fact that the file occupies less disk space, it looks like it did prior to compression. The file’s name, attributes, type, size, etc. remain the same when seen in a user’s file list. On Unix, the only cosmetic difference between the compressed and non-compressed file is the block size. On Windows NT/2000, the compression used is the standard NTFS compression, and thus is already completely integrated into the Windows NT environment. On MPE with the e-Space/MPE integration, files are listed with a ‘c’ attribute when they are viewed while they are compressed.
