NNAAMMEE
       packf - compress an MH folder into a single file

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
       packf [+folder] [msgs] [-file name] [-help]

       _P_a_c_k_f  takes  messages  from a folder and copies them to a
       single file.  Each message in the  file  is  separated  by
       four  CTRL-A's  and  a  newline.   Messages  packed can be
       unpacked using _i_n_c.

       If the _n_a_m_e given to the `-file name' switch exists,  then
       the  messages specified will be appended to the end of the
       file, otherwise the file will be created and the  messages
       appended.

FFIILLEESS
       $HOME/.mh_profile                         The user profile
       .msgbox.map                               A binary index of the file

PPRROOFFIILLEE CCOOMMPPOONNEENNTTSS
       Path:                To determine the user's MH directory
       Current-Folder:      To find the default current folder
       Msg-Protect:         To set mode when creating a new `file'

SSEEEE AALLSSOO
       inc(1)

DDEEFFAAUULLTTSS
       `+folder' defaults to the current folder
       `msgs' defaults to all
       `-file ./msgbox'

CCOONNTTEEXXTT
       If  a  folder is given, it will become the current folder.
       The first message packed will become the current  message.

BBUUGGSS
       _P_a_c_k_f  doesn't  handle  the  old  UUCP-style "mbox" format
       (used by _S_e_n_d_M_a_i_l).  To pack messages  into  this  format,
       use  the  script  _/_u_s_r_/_c_o_n_t_r_i_b_/_m_h_-_6_._8_/_l_i_b_/_p_a_c_k_m_b_o_x.   Note
       that _p_a_c_k_m_b_o_x does not take the `-file' option  of  _p_a_c_k_f,
       and instead writes its output on _s_t_d_o_u_t.
