z/OS is showing the same kind of thing I've seen on z/VM (OpenVM). I have never heard the reason why the OpenExtensions support (both z/OS and z/VM) does not list the dot and dotdot directories.

Compare to AIX, Solaris, FreeBSD, IRIX, HP-UX, UTS, MINIX, even SCO. -- R; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
