I think that's a DAP protocol version issue; it shouldn't be tied to OS type.
There are some incompatibilities like that between DAP 5.6 and DAP 7.0. The VMS
microfiche that were posted a while ago give some clues; just enough that I could beat my
Python implementation of NFT into behaving. You could use that for reference.

Interesting; I was wondering why you picked a special number? I would imagine that most
implementation wouldn't know it and maybe Ultrix-32 (OS$U32==^D18) might have been a
better choice? Ultrix-32 is of interest as its NRT is compatible with Tops-10/Tops-20 and
has the same OS type number.
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.
