Thanks I'll take a look at that. A few questions:
- Are there any VMS implementations that support IPv6?
google "vms ipv6" indicates that it's supported.
This side of it is probably not a big concern - VMS users are few...
- Are there any good references describing the syntax of VMS path?
There are manuals on HP's site (I'm not that familiar with where to
find them). Essentially a VMS pathname could look like this:
node::device:[level.level]filename.suffix;1
The parts are optional, e.g.,
[level.level] is a valid directory name
[000000] is like the "/" path on Unix
[level.] is valid too
I've cleaned up most of the checks for string-as-url versus
string-as-pathname, but adding square brackets to the URLs runs the risk
of tripping over some check for VMS.
Of course "usually" a pathname is distinct from URL, and most of the
VMS code is ifdef'd.
