[comp.os.vms] VMS dired fixes: file vms-patch.el

rbr4@uhura.cc.rochester.edu (Roland Roberts) (08/16/89)

Below is a copy of the file vms-patch.el.  To get VMS dired to work
you will need my corrections to dired.el (already sent out),
vms-patch.el (this file), and vmsproc.el (should arrive about the same
time as this).  Put them in the [lisp] directory and byte-compile
them.
