The IATVEFPackage interface creates a package of one or more enhancement files, such as HTML pages, graphics, scripts, and so on, that are associated with one particular interactive television show.
Implemented by CATVEFPackage in ATVEFSnd.dll.
A content server application uses the methods of IATVEFPackage to create packages of enhancement files.

A package is a MIME-encoded archive as specified in the ATVEF foundation specification 1.1. Any or all of the files in the package can be gzip compressed at the time they are added. There is only one package associated with the package object at any given time. After a package is closed, it remains available to be sent.
If your application needs to transmit more than one package, it should create multiple CATVEFPackage objects as described in Co-creating a Package Class Instance.
