Thanks Craig
Using vmstar with -o did the trick.
and DBI passes the test.
Unfortunately mms clean produces:
$ mms clean

Any idea how to delete files like those following which gnu tar created:
dbi-1^.52-rc1.tar;1
perl-5^.8^.8.DIR;1
perl-5^.8.8;1
I cannot even set def into the dir one.
(As you may have guessed by now, I'm new to VMS 8 on itanium although I used to
use VMS 5.? on VAX and alpha a long time ago).
