The documentation specifies the termination conditions for negative and positive increments, but it does not specify the termination conditions for 0 increments (which are neither positive nor negative). It appears that the Laswerwriter and the DPS on the DecStation treat 0 as a negative increment (terminates when the control variable is less than the limit), whereas NeWS treats 0 as a positive increment (terminates when the control variable is greater than the limit).
