[Info-vax] C RTL decc$translate_name - The Java way

[A famous IT technical writer]

Hello,

As written in the overview of this technical paper, it aims at turning
any ODS-2 or ODS-5 VMS file syntax into a Unix file syntax for a
further Unix style file specification processing. The code therein
contained is intended for direct use by Java based languages such as
JRuby or Jython.

However the algorythm therein contained may be used in any compiled or
interpreted program as long as there is an access to a Regular
Expressions library and there is a need to turn a VMS file syntax into
a Unix file syntax. One such Opensource application is FileZilla.

For compiled code such as FileZilla, the most performant Opensource
Regular Expressions library I ever tested is the Perl's Compatible
Regular Expressions (PCRE) library.

You may find my Java language based technical paper at:

In the hope my work may interest some of you.
Yours truly,
Philippe
