fgetname() does not always return the correct Unix format file specification when the decc$filename_unix_report feature is active and is ignoring the decc$readdir_dropdot_notype setting. So always have fgetname() return a VMS format file specification. When decc$filename_unix_report is active, use unixify() to convert it to the expected syntax. This bug shows up doing rename tests on an open file that has no file extension with decc$filename_unix_report and decc$readdir_dropdot_notype both active. This appears to be the last patch needed for vms.c/vmsish.h for this round of Unix compatibility and Extended character set filename support. -John wb8tyw@gmail.com Personal Opinion Only
