VMS Help  —  PRODUCT  PACKAGE  Description
    The PRODUCT PACKAGE command collects input from the source
    and material directories and creates the product kit in the
    destination directory. The source directory contains the required
    product description file (PDF) and an optional product text file
    (PTF) that the kit developer provides. The material directories
    contain the executable images and other files that make up the
    product. In addition, any command procedures that the product
    developer supplies to perform product specific installation tasks
    are in the material directories.

    During a package operation, the PCSI utility stores the PDF
    and PTF in the kit in a modified format. Comments are removed
    from the PDF and information is added such as the size of each
    installed file. The PTF file is converted to text library format
    and given a file type of .PCSI$TLB.

    The PRODUCT PACKAGE command can create a product kit in either
    sequential or reference format. To create a kit in compressed
    format, first enter the PRODUCT PACKAGE command to create a kit
    in sequential format. Then enter the PRODUCT COPY command to
    convert this sequential kit to a kit in compressed format.

    The PRODUCT PACKAGE command requires the /SOURCE, /DESTINATION,
    and /MATERIAL qualifiers.
