Hi Craig, (blush) the offending files are:
SYS_UTILITY:[PERL.PERL-5_10_1.LIB.BASE.T] fields-5.8.0.t fields-5.6.0.t These names were proper ODS5 names with the ^. Reading the tests, they are skipped for versions newer than 5.9; they are field tests form 5.6.x and 5.8.x. I'm sorry to send noisy traffic down the line. I've renamed them appropriately. I've been using the same ancient version of tar for probably 12 years now. I have installed the VMSTAR from freeware. I'm rebuilding after expanding with VMSTAR as you recommended. Best wishes.
