- Sorry, that was a mistake on my part. I was confusing two RTLs. From the
- FORTRAN RTL, you can get the RAB from the LUN via the (undocumented, last time
- I checked) routine FOR$RAB. There's no such routine (at least under VMS v5.4-2
- in the VAXC RTL), though Ehud had indicated that a perusal of the listings will
- allow you to figure out how to find it. Unfortunately, I don't have the
- listings, and the contact for the CSLG here won't mount them except upon
- specific request (not enough CD-ROM drives for both the docs and the listings
- :-().
