[mod.computers.vax] dec/shell run-time routines

8004SLB@mucsd.UUCP (Sandy) (10/21/86)

I don't have DEC/Shell therefore I don't have documentation for it. However,
the DEC/Shell run-time routines are included in the VMS C run-time library.
I have an application where I have to convert a DEC/Shell format file
specification to a VMS file specification and would like to use the routine
SHELL$TO_VMS. I borrowed an old copy of the DEC/Shell documentation and
it shows three arguments for this routine. The VMS V4.4 microfiche show
some of the C RTL routines calling SHELL$TO_VMS with four arguments. The
source for the SHELL... routines are not on the fiche. Could some kind soul
please tell me what this 4th argument is for and how to use it? Thanks in
advance.
