9.3 names -- RSX always had 9 character names; the 6 char limit appears in other operating

BTW, the original request asks for the oldest VMS for a 730 on HECnet, and mentions Phase
IV. That's certainly friendliest and it is of course required if you want to connect
by Ethernet. But Phase III can also be used, and Phase II provided you have either a
Phase III or a PyDECnet neighbor to connect it to.

If I can get a 3.x release running on HECNET, that would be neat.
You know VMS 3.x is really kind of primitive. For one thing, it doesn't
have long file names - only 6.3 names, like RSX.
