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. 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. If the RSTS file is one that does have attributes already, like a TSK file or an RSX format object file or a BCK (backup set) file, RSTS will just send those attributes across and all is well. The trouble is that you have to supply attributes if they aren t already in place. RSX and VMS don t have this because all files are RMS files. paul
