+
+2 VMS_specifics
+ Wget on VMS systems may behave differently in some ways from Wget on other
+ systems.
+
+ The "-b" or "--background" command-line option is ignored on VMS systems.
+
+ Other differences involve command-line case, restrictions on directory
+ and file names, some FTP behavior, and some RMS default parameters.
+
+3 Command-line_case
+ On non-VAX systems, Wget for VMS enables the following DECC$* run-time
+ option:
+ DECC$ARGV_PARSE_STYLE
+
+ This way, with extended command parsing enabled ("SET PROCESS
+ /PARSE_STYLE = EXTENDED"), command-line case is preserved, which
+ obviates quoting case-sensitive option switches, URLs, and other
+ parameters.
+
+3 Directory_and_file_names
+ When the destination for a downloaded file is an ODS2 file system,
+ excessive dots (".") in file names and directory names generated by
+ recursive retrieval (which would be illegal in ODS2 directory or file
+ names) are replaced by underscores ("_"). All tildes ("~") are replaced
+ by hyphens ("-"), and all "at" signs ("@") are replaced by dollar signs
+ ("$"). Any other invalid characters are replaced by underscores ("_").
+ Also, case information is lost.
+
+ For example, the command:
+ wget -r "ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.5/binaries/NetBSD-1.3/"
+
+ on a UNIX system, should put files into the directory:
+ ./ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.5/binaries/NetBSD-1.3/
+
+ while on a VMS ODS2 file system, the directory would be:
+ [.FTP_XFREE86_ORG.PUB.XFREE86.3_3_5.BINARIES.NETBSD-1_3]
+
+ When the destination for a downloaded file is an ODS5 file system, the
+ ODS5-invalid characters "?" and "*" are converted to "!" and "#",
+ respectively.
+
+ On non-VAX systems, Wget for VMS enables the following DECC$* run-time
+ options:
+ DECC$EFS_CHARSET
+ DECC$EFS_CASE_PRESERVE
+
+ This way, when the destination for a downloaded file is an ODS5 file
+ system, multiple dots will be permitted and case will be preserved in
+ directory and file names, so the previous example directory would be:
+ [.ftp^.xfree86^.org.pub.XFree86.3^.3^.5.binaries.NetBSD-1^.3]
+
+3 FTP_file_date
+ Files downloaded using FTP from some servers may get date-time info in
+ server-local time. Define an environment variable (symbol or logical
+ name) WGET_TIMEZONE_DIFFERENTIAL (a signed time in seconds) to offset
+ these file dates.
+
+3 FTP_file_format
+ By default, when Wget does a binary (Image) FTP transfer, the
+ destination file is created with fixed-length, 512-byte records. When
+ Wget does an ASCII FTP transfer, the destination file is created with
+ Stream_LF format.
+
+ In Wget versions before 1.10.1, an FTP destination file was always
+ created with Stream_LF format.
+
+ A new command-line option, --ftp-stmlf, forces all FTP destination
+ files to Stream_LF format, as in Wget versions before 1.10.1.
+
+ Add ";type=a" to the end of an FTP URL to specify an ASCII transfer.
+
+ Destination files specified using "-O" ("--output-document") are always
+ created with Stream_LF format.
+
+3 FTP_file_versions
+ To specify an explicit ";nnn" version number in an FTP URL, escape the
+ ";" as "%3B", or, if the (VMS) FTP server will accept it, use a second
+ dot. For example, for "file.type;25" use a URL like:
+ ftp://server/directory/file.type%3B25
+ or:
+ ftp://server/directory/file.type.25
+
+3 RMS_default_parameters
+ For improved I/O speed, when writing a downloaded file, Wget uses these
+ RMS parameter values by default: BLOCK_COUNT = 127, BUFFER_COUNT = 2,
+ EXTEND_QUANTITY = 16384.
+
+ The user may overide these values by specifying different (non-zero)
+ values for these parameters using the SET RMS_DEFAULT command.
+
+3 File_attributes
+ As with many C programs which originated on non-VMS systems, Wget may
+ make some assumptions about file attributes which can cause some
+ problems. One example is the "--post-file=FILE" option, which requires
+ that the "FILE" be in Stream_LF format. (In this case, HTTP 1.0
+ requires the length of the request to be known, and the method used to
+ determine the size of the file will fail for Variable-length format
+ files.)
