This is where it came from and was included to facilitate the installation of 6300plus applications. [Note: 6300plus application binaries work without the need for modification on UNIX System V/386 Release 3.1 and later.] This was undocumented since Release 3.1 and later use a different installation mechanism and documenting the cpiopc method would continue to promote the old habit.
