ISO 9660 supports volume sets in the range of 1 to 32767, and thus there is no volume set, '0'. o The $QIO READ-ATTRUBUTES entry for ATR$C_BACKLINK failed to return the current file/directories backlink in all cases. This failure impacted Pathworks directory caching. 7 PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN AXPF11C02_061 KIT FOR V6.1, V6.1-1H1, V6.1-1H2 o A third-party ISO 9660 CD-ROM may contain ISO 9660 meta-data which does not conform to the ISO 9660 (1988) standard. If the nature of this non-conformance causes data lengths to exceed the current data buffer there is a possibility that OpenVMS AXP may crash with an access violation from KERNEL mode, (ie., INVEXCPTION crash). 8 PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN AXPF11C01_061 KIT FOR V1.5, V1.5-1H1, V6.1, V6.1-1H1, V6.1-1H2 o Support for ISO 9660 CD-ROMs fails to return all files present in a directory when there are filenames without an extension, followed by files with the same filename. The failure shows up as missing files when a partial or full directory is requested. -- COVER LETTER -- Page 3 25 November 1996 For Example: (COMPLETE DIRECTORY) Directory DUGAL$DKA400:[000000] FU.DIR;1 LISTS.DIR;1 LISTSNEW.DIR;1 PICS.DIR;1 SAP3E.;1 SAP3E.DOF;1 SAP3E.FDB;1 SAP3E.IMG;1 SAP3E.IND;1 SETUP.DIR;1 (INCOMPLETE DIRECTORY - Note missing files of type SAP3E.???)
