Has anybody successfully got the recently posted pseudo-terminals working
on a MicroVMS system (we are running MicroVMS 4.5 with VWS 3.1) ? The same
drivers run fine on a 750 with VMS 4.3, but opening PYA0: does not seem to
create a TPAn, and depending on which of the pair is used first the IO fails
or the system crashes (there is a field in the PYAn UCB which ought to point
to the TPAn UCB and it is 0)

I have tried reassembling and relinking the drivers on MicroVMS and they dont
work. I suspect the routine ???CLONEUCB, but the windowing system uses clones
of WTA0, though this is online rather than offline.
