Too bad EDITOR does not like to work with HFS names:
*79*NON-MPE FILENAMES NOT SUPPORTED

This is the one thing I do not like about MPE, is how it treats file
creation, modification, and access. I can store a file without updating its
access time, but there is no MPE way that I've found to directly view or
grep a file without MPE considering it being accessed. So, one cannot tell
when a job was last run or source code last compiled merely by these times.
This is why I had gone to the trouble of file equating work files with
;save, so that purging the file equated name merely truncates, without
deleting. It can be useful to see those old created, modified, and accessed
times.

I understand that other editors are nicer about preserving times, as well as
ACDs, as well as working with HFS files.

The overly cautious might want to have their ACD script test for and report
ACD exceptions, before resetting these ACDs. I would want to know who was
mucking around and breaking things.

that carries risk because file-level ACDs tend to get removed inadvertently
by things like text editors that purge and re-build files when saving
changes. You can reduce that risk by (1) re-running the ACD-assignment
script frequently, and/or (2) placing the most sensitive files inside HFS
subdirectories that are protected by an ACD.
