I think this       was added in VMS v7.2. It does case preservation and disables       interpretation of some special characters, but there is no mention that I       can see of what it does to quotation marks.              OK, the proper test would be a simple program, maybe not in C, that does a       LIB$GET_FOREIGN and shows the results of that. Then we can compare giving       it different command lines and seeing what happens to them.              Basically, the whole thing smells like a gigantic hack to try to bring       things a little closer to POSIX behaviour. I doubt it’s very successful.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
