    Hi,
    	Does anyone have a program or FDL file to convert a Stream_Lf file to
    a nice  normal file so that commands like TYPE FOO.BAR and COPY FOO.BAR TT:
    will work?  Any language would be instructive.
Back in V3 of VMS, STREAM_LF files didn't work correctly through DECnet.  Ever
since V4, I have seen no problems with using them with all the usual cast of
programs.  Certainly, TYPE and COPY deal with them just fine.

The easiest way to build an FDL file for such a conversion, should you really
want to do it, is simply to do an ANALY/RMS/FDL=xxx on a file with the desired
characteristics!  (You might want to edit he result to take out anything like
a pre-extension that you don't want.)
