To all you future filesystem designers, please avoid the following:

SYS$SYSROOT[UTILS.ANUNEWS.SRC.NEWS_SRC]NEWSADD.OBJ;1

NOTE: SYS$SYSROOT is also a logical name which has 2 translations.

Oh yeah, then there is the DECNET node specs:

VAXB"LOGIN PASSWORD":: plus the above.

I prefer:

/sysroot/utils/anunews/src/news_src/news_add.obj

P.S.  Did I make a syntax error somewhere?
