When TARing to an archive, the last record of Fixed ASCII files is
truncated. The system displays the following error message:

TAR.HPBIN.SYS: write error on file "filename": System call error

This creates a data loss situation.

The problem is fixed by a change to the byte stream emulator.

External Symptoms, Cause, Fix Description
=========================================

Legacy device information was mistakenly removed
from the 6.0 IODFAULT.PUB.SYS file. This included
devices like the HP7980A Magnetic Tape Drive and other
HP-IB devices.

When trying to configure a device like the HP 7980A
error messages would be returned saying the device is
not supported.

This problem was introduced in patch MPELXL1A and carried
forward into MPELXQ3A. This replacement patch is specific
to 6.0.
