[comp.os.vms] VMS 5.0 directory names

ewilts%Ins.MRC.AdhocNet.CA%Stasis.MRC.AdhocNet.CA%UNCAEDU.@CORNELLC.CCS.CORNELL.EDU.BITNET (Ed Wilts) (07/20/88)

Has DEC finally got rid of the gross [x,y] syntax as a directory name or is
this still valid?  We are interested in finally forcing third party vendors
to allow full use of hiearchical directory names.

Sorry Ed (boy am I...), but the annoying structure that VMS has used before
they do continue to use...
