	Yup.  The InfoServer client code under VMS is now owned by VMS
Sustaining Engineering and they're not real keen on doing much more than
fixing bugs.  There's no doubt that adding a /SERVICE_CLASS qualifier to
LADCP would be the best solution but even when InfoServer Engineering owned
the code it was deemed too difficult for the return.  {When LADCP was written,
there was no "client" side - it was server only for PATHWORKS.}

	That's the reason I added the code for propgation of ISO-9660 CDs to
the ODS-2 namespace.  That was something I could touch.  In truth, it's a
hack and it does somewhat defeat the whole namespace concept (which should
let you know what the true file system is on the remote device) but it's a
decision I made and there was no one to tell me I couldn't. ;-)

	The current version of the InfoServer software is V3.4. I'd recommend
upgrading to at least V3.3 and V3.4 when you get your hands on it.
