Detecting directory changes.

[Bryan R. Webb]

Gents,

>From your discussion on this topic, it sounds like there are 2 things
that can be most useful at this point:

1) Use the unsupported F11X$POSIX_FASTRDSEQNOS API in the coding of
   Samba on VMS for now. 

2) Someone with an OpenVMS support contract put in a request for a
   supported API to provide the desired alert on directory changes.
   John has indicated that this is a prime time for such a suggestion.
