likes a different expression other than
"NEWFIX" that is 6 letters or less - please suggest.
Y2KFIX or Y10KFX (as
appropriate)? That seems more specific.

Thank you for the comment. I notice that you are the only
one to respond publicly. I presume that everyone else
is either shy or not interested in RT-11.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. The commands
SET DATE [NO]Y2K
SET DATE [NO]Y10K
would be responsible for that aspect.
I wanted to use the
SET NEWFIX [OFF,ON,ALL]
to control the use of all the the bug fixes and enhancements.
This command could control the use of all of the changes
made to programs with just one command.
It might even be worthwhile to set aside a full word with
16 bits to control any specific Utility as well. So
SET UTIL DIR=[OFF,ON]
might control the bugs and enhancements made to DIR.
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine
