The files located in the ERRATA directory tree do not contain extended
attribute records (XARs) due to other requirements of the CD-ROM volume.
Because these files do not contain XARs, they are not easily accessed by
VAX/VMS systems. A program named "pdsvmsrc" located in the
[SOFTWARE.VAX] directory was developed to facilitate access of PDS
labeled files that do not contain XARs.

This program reads the PDS labels to determine the record length of
fixed-length record files, and then copies the file to magnetic disk
with the appropriate file characteristics.

To run the program, first set-up a command:

    $PDSVMSRC :== $dev:[SOFTWARE.VAX]PDSVMSRC.EXE
    where: dev = devise name of the CD-ROM drive.

Next, execute the program with the command:

     $PDSVMSRC cdfile ofile
     where: cdfile = name of file to copy to magnetic disk, only
                     files in the ERRATA directory tree are applicable
                     to this program
            ofile = name of the output file

The executable module was linked on a VAX/VMS version 5.5-2 system, and
will run on all MS systems higher or equal to this version. For systems
prior to 5.5-2, you will need to recompile and relink the source code.
The source code is also located in the [SOFTWARE.VAX] directory and is
named PDSVMSRC.C. The program can be copied and built with  the
following commands:

$CREATE PDSVMSRC.FDL
RECORD                
   BLOCK_SPAN       YES
   CARRIAGE_CONTROL NONE
   FORMAT           STREAM
   SIZE             0
$EXCHANGE/NETWORK/FDL=PDSVMSRC.FDL dev:[SOFTWARE.VAX]PDSVMSRC.C *
$CC   PDSVMSRC    !assume that you have the c compiler
$LINK PDSVMSRC    !link the program
