To convert DOS and UNIX GSAS files for use in VMS, I use the VMS
$ convert/pad/fdl=80fix.fdl
command. Where 80fix.fdl is:
IDENT "16-NOV-1992 10:10:01 VAX-11 FDL Editor"
SYSTEM
SOURCE "VAX/VMS"
FILE
ALLOCATION 0
BEST_TRY_CONTIGUOUS yes
EXTENSION 0
ORGANIZATION sequential
RECORD
BLOCK_SPAN yes
CARRIAGE_CONTROL carriage_return
FORMAT fixed
SIZE 80
A few notes: the DOS files have a CR (or LF or both?) already inside, so if
xfered to VMS in ASCII mode, convert should recognize the record boundaries.
This is not true in the UNIX versions, where convdtos must be used 1st to add
the CR characters before the files are transferred.

just copy them as ASCII files and convert them in ISAM format. Below is a small code I wrote ages ago for this....

A VMS version of the utility 'cnvfile' found with the DOS is available. It takes a properly formatted ASCII file and writes the 80 character record ISAM file needed by VMS versions of GSAS. URL's for the VAX version of source and executable are at ftp://cryst.ciw.edu/gsas_vax/cnvfile.for [local] and ftp://cryst.ciw.edu/gsas_vax/cnvfile.exe [local] For VMS/AXP (alpha) users, the URLs are ftp://cryst.ciw.edu/gsas_alpha/cnvfile.for [local] ftp://cryst.ciw.edu/gsas_alpha/cnvfile.exe [local]
