You need to use "tobyte" to convert the files to "bytestream".

MPE is a more modern operating system than Unix, and actually supports file
structures like "records".  Programs written for Unix (like Apache) expect
all files to be "bytestreams".  The MPE POSIX bytestream emulator reports the
size of non-bytestream files as RecordSize*NumberOfRecords, but when you
actually read the records, trailing blanks (for ASCII files) are truncated,
so reading all records in the file gives fewer bytes than the filesize.

So, Apache tells your browser the file is x-bytes long, but sends fewer than
x bytes.

To conver file "FOOBAR" into a bytestream file,

:tobyte.hpbin.sys "-at FOOBAR FUMBAR"

Hope this helps!

[Some of the details may not be accurate, but the concept is correct -- I
didn't take the time to test it.]
