Good, thanks for the confirmation.

Sigh, nl_langinfo didn't become available until VMS 6.2, or so the
version dependency tables in the C RTL manual tell me. The following
might do it. Just use your favorite editor to remove the line
preceded by a minus and then add in the lines preceded by pluses
(don't forget to delete the plus signs):

Unfortunately that means you'll have to reconfigure and start the
build over from the beginning. You may want to do an MMS REALCLEAN
first.

OK, lib/Net/hostent is a known Multinet problem. There is or soon
will be an ECO from Process. If you have time to get more verbose
output from the others that would be great. The test shell expects
paths relative to the [.t] directory but you see them in your output
relative to the main directory, so you need to run them like:
$ @[.vms]test .exe "" -"v" [.io]fs.t
and
$ @[.vms]test .exe "" -"v" [-.ext.cwd.t]cwd.t
etc.
I don't see any failures from your 7.2-1 system that I don't also see
in your 7.1-1H2 system, so there's no need to look at that
separately. Funny, since I'm getting all green lights on my 7.2-1
and 7.3 systems.
