This is version 130218 of the FATS tool.

FATS, displays File ATributeS using the same keywords as are used by the SET FILE/ATTRIBUTE command. Only the file attributes which can be modified by that DCL command are shown. FATS can be used to save the current settings so that after some manipulations the original attributes can easily be restored. FATS intentionally does not follow symbolic links, it displays the attributes of the link file.

The backup saveset contains three files: the executable images for Alpha and I64 and a CLD file.

How to use FATS:

This version was tested on OpenVMS V8.3/Alpha and V8.3-1H1/I64. There are known differences with symbolic links in V8.4 which may cause problems. Tests for V8.4 are planned.
