The following file description is from a FORTRAN-produced data file
(sequential, unformatted, variable length records). We would like to
read and create such data files with programs written in C.

IDENT  "VAX/VMS ANALYZE/RMS_FILE Utility"
SYSTEM
    SOURCE                  VAX/VMS
FILE
    ALLOCATION              11
    BEST_TRY_CONTIGUOUS     no
    CLUSTER_SIZE            1
    CONTIGUOUS              no
    EXTENSION               0
    GLOBAL_BUFFER_COUNT     0
    NAME                    "DUA0:foo.foo"
    ORGANIZATION            sequential
RECORD
    BLOCK_SPAN              yes
    CARRIAGE_CONTROL        none
    FORMAT                  variable
    SIZE                    0

Does anybody know what fopen tricks are necessary? What function should we
use for reading/writing the records? Thanks in advance,
                 *
