I'm not sure if I want to know this, but just what is the reason
that VMS cannot handle >8 levels of directories? Is it really that
impossible to change?
Surely even VMS users must feel this is an annoyance, too.
Particularly, with the larger and larger file systems one finds on
VAXen these days, it seems surprising that DEC never fixed (uhh,
changed) this.
Perhaps it is coming. After all, the last major release of VMS did
increase the name space substantially (which was very helpful to
Eunice).
(Please do not flame one way or the other about the rest of the VMS
file system. I have no wish to hear another UNIX vs VMS debate.)
