VMS Question...

  On sys_access in SYSDEP.C.  Why does it call directory_file_name?
Debugging code I stuffed in has reported that sys_access never gets
asked about directories directly anyway.  Does it happen in rare
cases?  Can I safely remove it?  (I've replaced the sys_access routine
with another routine and am trying not to include a 512 char array if
I can avoid it).
