    Brief Description of Problem:
    -----------------------------

I have some problems in reading files,just created from a
C-program (creat).

Our customer has copied a file structure from Vax OpenVMS to Alpha OpenVMS
then we create new files from the C-program and get new versions of them.

What does the new version of a file inherit from the old version, as
the old version was a RMS-file but the new should be an ordinary file.

Looking at the OpenVMS Record Management Services Reference Manual, and
from a bit of experimentation, then it seems that the only attributes
a new file might inherit from the old file is the file protection
permissions.

Can you explain more about your situation? Do you have an indexed RMS file
originally, which when a new version of the file is created by your C program,
it still retains the RMS indexed origanization? If so, could you send me the
output from $ DIR/FULL on both files, and explain what calls the C program 
makes to write the file.

You can close the call, it was probably a customen problem, they have
copied some Vax binaryfiles the an Alpha.

Sorry that you not got the message from me before.
