     It seems that if I access a data file with records larger than 4096
   bytes from a FORTRAN program via DECnet (i.e. FAL) that the RMS error
   "Record too large for user's buffer" is returned. This only happens
   when the access is via DECnet; local access of course works fine.
     I tried increasing various quotas for the DECnet proxy account (i.e.
   my own account in this case), but still no difference.
     The DECnet manuals shed no light on this limitation that I have
   been able to find, so I am appealing to any VMS whizzes on the net
   for the answer.
     Please email directly, and I will summarize to the net if appropriate.

     Regards,

         Mark Sandrock
