The DAP spec describes the month part of the date, and it shows specifically upper case
strings. So while one might argue RSX is too picky, sending mixed case month names is not
allowed by the protocol spec.

I wanted to quickly find out how much, if any, code was dependent on the OS type. One
other area of incompatibility is that TOPS-10 and the Linux dndir require a DAP-level ACK
after the attributes during directory listings.
Johnny and I did a lot of work and
testing to get Tops-20 DAP/FAL to perform better. Some were Tops-20, others not. One
Tops-20 bug was that an eight bit file would cause a directory listing to stop. My
favorite RSX issue was that it wants UPPERcase month names; I fixed that by UPPERcasing
the result of ODTIM%. I can't remember what Johnny did (if anything).
