Indeed, the quota was the problem. Works now. Excellent! Cool. However, RSTS/E did not
present the kind of attributes on text files that I would have thought.
Native RSTS files don t *have* attributes, no more than Unix files do. FAL supplies
something if you don t specifically ask for a transfer mode, and that something is
probably a safe but unhelpful default like undefined records, 512 block size.
Right. I just sortof expected DAP to say that they were stream files, or something like
that.
But on the other hand, that could possibly be messy if the file actually was some binary
thing, so maybe unknown makes more sense after all.
If you ask for text mode, FAL will handle that, and supply something more helpful.
Either stream_crlf, or it will convert to a more popular RMS format, I don t remember.
It obviously do work right if you ask for ASCII. I wonder which end do the conversion in
that case. Is the sending side aware that the file should be sent as some kind of ASCII
text file?
RSX and VMS don t have this because all files are RMS files.
Well, technically, in RSX you can have either an RMS-11 DAP, or an FCS-11 DAP. But since
RMS is pretty much a superset of FCS it's more of a technicality than a real point.
