I'm using LIBCSHR.LIB.SYS, LIBCANSI.LIB.SYS (plus a few others including
SOCKETRL.NET.SYS) all on MPE 7.0(Exp1).  It's my understanding that the
POSIX routines only support bytestream files and this program needs to
access (and create) non-bytestream (actually Variable-ASCII "VA") files
and work smoothly from the CI in a jobstream.

P.S.  I've already recoded the I/O to use sprintf() for formatting and
HPFOPEN(), FWRITE() and FCLOSE() intrinsics for accessing the file, so I
don't actually need an answer for this situation anymore.  (But if
something comes along that lets me convert the couple of dozen printf()
calls from something like this:

        sprintf(log_buff, "Send(%s) errno=%d", buff, errno);
        mpe_FWRITE(log_fnum, log_buff, -strlen(log_buff), 0);

.... back to something like this:

        printf(log_file, "Send(%s) errno=%d\n", buff, errno);

.... I'd be inclined to spend the time.)

Thanks.
