This is explained in the OpenVMS File System Internal book. The files MUST
be on the same volume for the /ENTER to work. The actual file has a header
which resides in INDEXF.SYS in the MFD of that volume. A header is located
using the file ID. The file ID is stored in the <direcotry].DIR. When you
issue /ENTER, an entry, using the name you've specified, is place into the
directory specified; however, its file ID is set to the file you wish to be
linked with. This is why it cannot span volumes.
On *NIX I'd use a symbolic link - what's the VMS solution?
You need to look into SET FILE/SYMLINK. I have to run out now. Later, if
nothing comes up, I'll put an example together for you.

Should do. I never got around to building it and lost the files in an OS wipe.

I'd love to play with writing some embedded VAX code in Pascal :)

It should run fine. There is even a rtVAX1000 simulator (this was the MicroVAX II CPU with a less than full memory management implementation).

I've got a zoo extractor.

Thanks. In the meantime, I tracked one down on the net, by Martin Schoenert ( public domain ) called unzoo.c. Compiled and ran with no trouble at all.

Finally got all the freeware stuff downloaded onto SOLAR::
They can be accessed at http://solar.sampsa.com/files/ or in the FREEWARE directory on SOLAR::.
