61 packf \- compress an MH folder into a single file
69 takes messages from a folder and copies them to a single file.
70 Each message in the file is separated by four CTRL\-A's and a
72 newline (identical to the way messages are stored in your receiving mail drop).
75 newline (identical to the way messages are stored in your receiving mail drop).
80 Messages packed can be unpacked using \fIinc\fR.
82 If the \fIname\fR given to the `\-file\ name' switch exists,
83 then the messages specified
84 will be appended to the end of the file, otherwise the file will be created
85 and the messages appended.
87 ^$HOME/\&.mh\(ruprofile~^The user profile
88 ^\&.msgbox\&.map~^A binary index of the file
90 ^Path:~^To determine the user's MH directory
92 ^Current\-Folder:~^To find the default current folder
94 ^Msg\-Protect:~^To set mode when creating a new `file'
98 `+folder' defaults to the current folder
100 `msgs' defaults to all
104 If a folder is given, it will become the current folder.
105 The first message packed will become the current message.
107 \fIPackf\fP doesn't handle the old UUCP-style \*(lqmbox\*(rq format
108 (used by \fISendMail\fP).
109 To pack messages into this format,
110 use the script \fI@@(MHETCPATH)/packmbox\fP.
111 Note that \fIpackmbox\fP does not take the `\-file' option of \fIpackf\fP,
112 and instead writes its output on \fIstdout\fP.
