Cool. This is become more weird all the time.
WHat I reported was what was shown when doing a directory over DECnet. It's the
information VMS presents. RSX is not really involved.
With DECnet, it is. DAP sends the information about the files in the directory listing
in encoded form, and it's up to the receiving system to decode it correctly and format
it for display. So if you're seeing the wrong attribute, either VMS is sending the
wrong DAP code, or RSX is decoding it wrong. A wire trace along with some reading of the
DAP protocol spec will tell you which it is.
