However, others of our Alpha VMS machines display anr0 interesting problem which we're trying to solve.  C The program opens a file, and modifies some of the data inside thath@ file.  Since it was originally written for UNIX, it does this byC opening in "r+" mode, read plus write, reads the entire file into a-C buffer, seeks to the place to be modified, writes out the new data,nA and then writes out the remainder of the file, thus accommodating D differently sized data.  You would say "a perfect opportunity to use@ VMS record management", however we don't really want to have two8 completely different implementations of this program :-)  B Our problem is that on certain of our Alpha VMS systems, we end up? writing out one character per line.  (Interestingly both of theID systems are VMS 6.2.  There must be some difference in configuration or installed libraries.)  ; I have been poking around on the Compaq website looking forsC information about file opening modes.  I tried to use "ctx=stm" andrB "rfm=stmlf", since that seemed like it would be the most UNIX-like> thing, however that doesn't work because the file contents areE interrupted every line with line length information.  I next tried tom@ use "mrs=32767", but that appeared to have no effect.  I tried aE number of other variants for context, record format, line length, and " nothing seemed to give me any joy.  C I also tried using the set file/attribute command before running myfD program, but that does not seem to do actual data conversion -- thatD is, my stream still ended up with record length markers, even though directory/full said that it was E   Record format:    Stream_LF, maximum 32767 bytes, longest 110 byteshD Also, I was hoping not to have to spawn some process to execute someE command to modify the file before calling my program -- I wanted juste% to read the bytes and write them out!p  E Do you have any advice on making my program work?  Preferably withoutmB having to carefully skip over record markers -- I'm sure that if IB attempted to implement that, I would discover later that there wasD some format about it that I failed to deal with properly.  ObviouslyE if I have to, I will implement something like this, or some call to arE file converter (I confess that I have not yet attempted to understandD# FDL files and the convert utility).   C     Judy Anderson yclept yduJ            'yduJ' rhymes with 'fudge':C     yduJ@cs.stanford.edu, http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~ydujP     yduJ@Gensym.comT   ------------------------------  " Date: Tue, 9 May 2000 20:37:47 GMT2 From: kaplow_r@eisner.decus.org.mars2 (Bob Kaplow) Subject: Re: OpenVMS marketing+ Message-ID: <pi03hcakG9Pg@eisner.decus.org>I  Y In article <Fu9tL2.E2F@world.std.com>, "Terry C.
