I did not mean to imply that the quoting was the only problem.  The
trick here is to find a path that allows old stuff to continue to work
while VMS evolves with new functionality.

So with every problem you raise, the question becomes: can we evolve DCL
to fix this (either in a upward cmpatible way, or one requiring
DCL64.exe, the shebang or other approach).

Is it correct to state that with Unix, when you invoke a shell script, a
new process is created, so it becomes easier to give that process the
shell that is specified in the first line of the script ?
