A program called VMSFLX has appeared on several of the Rainbow Fido nodes.
I also was on the DEC-Market machine before it was taken down last year.
This program provided a VAX with an RX-50 drive, the capability to read and
write MS-DOS disks.  Among the various drestrictions was:
1) Only single sided quad density disks
2) Subdirectories were not supported
3) disk had to be formated on a rainbow
I got a copy of the program but have since lost it.
I do not remember if it was written in pascal or fortran.  But do remember that
the sources were available.  Recently someone said that it might be available on
SIMTEL20.
