As an aside to this thread, the advantages of the hp3k powerfail
recovery capability are legend, but be sure that your machine is
properly configured for this feature.

When we upgraded to a 996-500 from a 992-400 last year, I was examining

In its current incarnation, LZW doesn't know how to walk directories,
and won't (by design) process byte-stream files.

I'm working on adding these, but don't know when the new version will
be available.  The complexity (to me at least) is in having one
program that can easily live in both the MPE and Posix domains.  I'm
having to mix intrinsic access with direct open()/read()/write()/
close() calls to be able to handle all (most) file types, and am
having trouble getting the details right.

The FSERR51, OTOH, is a mystery.  I'm able to duplicate it here, so I
should be able to find/fix it.  Obviously, from your example, there's
a buffer-size problem as well -

   ---File "/BIND/PUB/contrib/hostmaint/txt2named.a" does not exist!
   ---File "wk" does not exist!
