Problem with VMS_SUPPORT.C

[Peter Smode]

Please check the doc for $GETDVI
(http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/731FINAL/4527/4527pro_053.html#jun_285) which
described the common arguments common with $GETDVIW. You'll see in the
description of the devnam argument how information additional to the device
name may be supplied. $GETDVI has no requirement of being fed a device name
only. Also, I don't believe the iosb reference in the call needed
"correcting", due to C language standards for array references.

It would be interesting to know what was reported in the error message about
the name being tested with $GETDVIW to see how the relative path ended up
getting translated into a absolute VMS path. Knowing the specification of
the share in the smb.conf would be helpful too. We won't know what kind of
problem you are having until we see the full error message reported.
