Maximum-String-Length Parameter
Compaq FTAM supports unbounded strings. The limitations of the
String-Significance Parameter
The Compaq FTAM responder supports all three values (fixed, variable, and not- significant) for the
Universal-Class Parameter
The default
Simplification and Relaxation
Simplification is the act of reading a file of a specific FTAM document type as a less structured, or simpler, FTAM document type. Compaq FTAM supports
the simplification of
Relaxation, or the process of deriving one document from another by making the parameters describing it less restrictive, is not supported at all by Compaq FTAM.
Mapping of Contents-Type Parameters
The Compaq FTAM virtual filestore (VFS) supports the Compaq FTAM responder by providing an interface to the Guardian file system. It maps FTAM file structures and attributes to Guardian file structures and attributes, and vice versa. Section 4 describes the mappings of FTAM document types to Guardian file types.
Note that the Compaq responder does not keep a permanent record of the
Data-Transfer Considerations
This subsection briefly describes the aspects of Compaq FTAM data handling that might affect interoperability between the Compaq FTAM responder and another FTAM implementation. For complete information, see Section 4.
