Does anyone know how to set the version limit on  a directory which
was created without a limit, such that subsequent files will inherit
the limit?

It seems that if I create a directory with a limit, files inherit that
limit.  If however, I create the directory without a limit, then later
do a SET FILE FOO.DIR/VERSION=n  the new limit has no effect on files
created in the directory.  It is as if the SET FILE command put a limit
on the number of DIRECTORY VERSIONS (which is meaningless to VMS) instead 
of setting a limit on FILE VERSIONS IN THE DIRECTORY.  Is there any way 
to do this once a directory is created?

Thanks for any help.
