        Date:    Wed, 29 Oct 86 21:00:32 EST

            I want to view current file protections and set new file
        protections without spawning the subprocesses, dir/prot and
        set protection.  Preferably by calling a system routine from
        basic(or another high level language). Any ideas?

See page SYS-446.5 in the VAX/VMS System Services Reference Manual.  It
describes the SYS$SETDFPROT routine which performs that function.
