	I have been stymied by a problem I have found in trying to use
DECNET to back up files from an RSX-11 system. I suspect this problem also
exists when trying to do the same thing from other VMS systems. It appears
that DECNET won't copy ISAM files. I get a message, something to the effect
of: "Invalid record" and the file isn't copied.
	Under RSX I've tried to create container files using the BRU
utility, but this doesn't work (or I don't understand how to make it work).
The idea, here, would be to mask the ISAM data structure in the container
file to make the file look like a binary file, but BRU won't do this.
	I don't know of any way of copying ISAM files over the net. Anyone
care to comment?
