We fence-straddlers are well accustomed to the attributes requirement, as well as to being distrusted by IBM development groups. Several years ago, I had some contention with an IBM product which refused to support Unix files for input because, they said, they feared the programmer might code unacceptable attributes. So what else is new? To IBM's credit, they had about an hour's conference call with me in which we discussed our various concerns. The restriction was dropped and the product now supports Unix files well. Thanks, Kurt!
