Subject:  Parsing VMS filenames
To:       info-vax%OVRO.Caltech.Edu@Hamlet.Caltech.Edu


     I am writing a user interface program for radio telescopes and
am trying to locate a piece of code to parse VMS file names.  I
would prefer C but we also have Fortran and Pascal compilers.  I'm
trying to avoid having figuring out the call to SYS$PARSE and would
rather not have to open the file at this point in the program.

     Thanks in advance for any helpful responses.
