	One thing they forgot going from RSX to VMS. BRU had a switch to
	specify number of file headers on restore.

	Alternate would be to do the restore by first initializing the disk
	to the size you need and then doing the Restore, instead of letting
	restore do the init for you. (cept for stand alone, of course.)
