- Known bugs in VMS-FSP V2.7.0
- ============================
-
- General:
- -------
- This version of FSP is only tested on UCX/TCP and Multinet/UCX network
- software, other implementations need some changes in the ***share.opt
- file and in some headerfiles ([.include]common_def.h).
-
-
- Clients:
- -------
- Fmore is not yet implemented (Was originally a piping of Fcat with Less).
- Fpwd is not yet implemented (do a $show logical fsp* instead).
-
- This is not quite a bug, but a restriction on VMS. When FGETting or
- FGRABbing a file with more than 1 dot in it's name, the last dot(s) will
- be translated into underscores. Also characters which are invalid on a VMS
- filesystem (?:!) will be converted to an underscore.
-
-
- Server:
- ------
- The .FSP_CONTENT will not be updated on external changes. These are
- changes made in the directory/file structure without using FSP (like when
- you want to put some stuff in your own FSP-server-directory with the normal
- COPY command).
- When you do this, you have to delete the .FSP_CONTENT in each directory
- where you have made the changes.
-
- The filenames on VMS are not case sensitive, so all names will always be in
- lowercase. This can cause problems on compressed files (with extension .Z),
- after fgetting these files on Unix-based systems, the extension must be
- converted to uppercase before the uncompress can be done.
-
- The server has still problems with downloading of STREAM-format files which
- are larger than 1.18MB. The only way to fix this is to convert the file-
- format to FIXED or STREAM_LF.
-
-
- When you discover some more bugs/inconveniences in the VMS-FSP, send them
- to <S.A.Pechler@bdk.tue.nl>.
