FLX only supports DOS magtape format. For disks, it only deals with
RT-11 format, I think. I didn't even know that there was a DOS-11 disk
format, but thinking about it, it would seem obvious there should be one.

FLX accessing DOS tapes will "fail" at 2035.
That figures, because the RSTS date format was taken from DOS-11. I assume you meant
magtape; DECtape runs into trouble in 2002 because there the date is only 15 bits (the
sign bit is used to mark a contiguous file).
