[Info-vax] RMS - Wish list

[Greg Tinkler]

As a follow on from my previous post

UDF
files you can sequentially get/put, but you cannot access using RFA.
This would be useful, yup there is no defined record but the buffer size is all that is needed.  'record' locking is based on RFA so shared access should not be a problem.

As previously mentioned, SYS$READB(rab) and SYS$WRITEB(rab) would also be useful, NB based on RFA so again shared access should work.  NB RMS underneath would as it does today, coordinate the block access to ensure the latest block is used when accessed.

I assume the SSIO is focused on UDF files?
