                             EDIT 526    FOR BACKUP
  
[SYMPTOM]
  
	The EOT, REWIND and UNLOAD commands of BACKUP do not report
	errors if they occur.

	Check the I/O status word for any errors.  If there are
	any, print the fatal error message "?BKPTPF Tape positioning
	error during xxxxx operation." where xxxxx can be REWIND,
	EOT or UNLOAD.

                             EDIT 106    FOR CREDIR
  
[SYMPTOM]
  
	Directories created by CREDIR are too long
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
	Edit 104 to CREDIR added a /ALLOCATE: switch, and changed
	the code which closes the directory to use the CLOSE UUO
	bit CL.DLL, which specifies the monitor shouldn't
	deallocate unsused blocks at the end of the file.
	Unless /ALLOCATE was specified, CREDIR shouldn't do this.
  
[CURE]
  
	When closing the directory, deallocate unused blocks unless
	/ALLOCATE was explicitly specified.
