Files and Directories Under MPE/iX Accounts

The MPE/iX file system was enhanced to allow you to create hierarchical
directories directly underneath MPE/iX account nodes.  Traditionally,
only MPE/iX group nodes existed underneath accounts.

In MPE/iX Release 4.5, the file system was enhanced to allow you to
create files and directories underneath the root node and underneath
MPE/iX groups.  For example:

                        /
                + - - - + - - - +
                |       |       |
               SYS     dir   file_under_root
                |
        + - - - + - - - +
        |       |       |
       PUB    CONFIG   DIAG     *** ONLY MPE/iX groups
        |
+ - - - + - - - +
|       |       |
NL     dir    file_under_group

In MPE/iX Release 5.0, files and hierarchical directories can now be
created underneath an MPE/iX account node.  For example:

                        /
                + - - - + - - - +
                |       |       |
               SYS     dir   file_under_root
                |
        + - - - + - - - + - - - + - - - +
        |       |       |       |       |
       PUB    CONFIG   DIAG    dir    file_under_acct
        |
+ - - - + - - - +
|       |       |
NL     dir    file_under_group

The file file_under_acct can be accessed by specifying the pathname:
/SYS/file_under_acct.

Disk space occupied by files and directories underneath an account will
accumulate to the account disk-free space count and will be limited by
the account maximum disk space allowed for the account.
