I have three things I want to do in VMS C that are not part of the documented C library. Can anyone offer solutions? 1. creat() a file with no record attribute (rat=none doesn't work). 2. given a file descriptor, return the device channel. 3. given a file descriptor, access the associated RMS data structures. (getname() does part of what I want, and could be use to get the rest, but it looks difficult). Also, is it more efficient to use undefined record format (rather than the default stream-lf) with read/write? Please reply by mail, watmath!egisin, egisin%watmath@Waterloo.CSNET
