It could only be the following, but it would have to be enabled for
whatever process is running on the server side and would only work if
the service in question is using the CRTL to open files and is not using
any custom filename conversions.


DECC$FILENAME_UNIX_NO_VERSION

With DECC$FILENAME_UNIX_NO_VERSION enabled, OpenVMS version numbers are 
not supported in UNIX style filenames.

With DECC$FILENAME_UNIX_NO_VERSION disabled, in UNIX style names, 
version numbers are reported preceded by a period (.).
