I have already made a similar change to the 4.2 branch (trunk in svn).
Unfortunately, the change cannot be made in 4.1.x because it breaks
binary compatibility. What I've done instead is to make it optional in
4.1, and enabled it by default only for VMS. That will only break binary
compatibility in VMS, so maybe that's ok?

I've applied the rest of your tweaks, with a few small changes, to the
4.1 branch. I'm planning to release 4.1.6 within the next couple of
weeks, so please can you check the current svn contents to ensure
they're ok?

If you're not able to email it, I can arrange somewhere for you to FTP
it.

Thanks,

Duncan.
