I've seen this before with TU77s, TA78s when I was logged into the system manager account on a VAXCluster. The same tape and drive behaved normally (single listing of files) from my personal account. The difference between the two accounts is that the default device for my personal account (at login) is a logical name pointing to a single device but the system manager account (in a VAXCluster) has a default device which includes a search list (SYS$MANAGER == SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR] and SYS$SYSROOT is the search list in a cluster). My guess was that DIRECTORY was getting itself confused because of this. It was strange to see, but only reproducible when the default device was a search list. = Frank J.
