_______________________________________________________
Details:
The vmsify and unixify routines can not handle the VMS extended filename
syntax known as EFS available on the ODS-5 filesystem.
In addition to converting between Unix and VMS styles, these routines are
doing some special mangling of the names to make names legal for ODS-2
filenames.
This special handling needs to be documented at a minimum in the readme.vms.
The EFS character set supports almost all the characters that Unix does
including UTF-8, and supports longer pathnames.
If the DECC$EFS_CHARSET feature is enabled on ALPHA/IA64 then a replacement
set of routines will need to be used.
The pathname size constants are also too small for EFS path names.
