Sorry about the headache.

But the topic was identical code on *nix and VMS trying to
access a random position in a file.

C is available on both *nix and VMS so it was rather
obvious.

VMS Basic is not available on *nix.

I don't think there is quite the same options
in VMS Basic as in C for this, but I expect all the
options available in VMS Basic to produce a natural
expected result.
