But you don't, of course.  One file is called "PUB" and the other is called
"PUB/".  Both residing in the subdirectory "/JVNM/" in the temporary domain.
 
Now what kind of file systems permits including a "/" as a part of a valid
name????  I mean I always thought that when the delimiter "/" was shown such
as in
 
 PATH= /VANGUARD/
 
 CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----  FILENAME
         SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX
 
           0W  GBD          0          0   0      128  4  *  IMAGE/
           0W  GBD          0          0   0       64  2  *  PUB/
           0W  GBD          0          0   0       32  1  *  V6/
           0W  GBD          0          0   0       64  2  * *V7/
 
that the "/" was generated because the type was GBD, not stored with the
file name.
 
I notice also that if I have a file named STRANGE/ in the temp domain and
save it (:SAVE ./STRANGE/) that the trailing "/" disappears.
 
Strange that.
