status values instead of encoding them. DCL scripts that were checking

+VAX/VMS floating point uses unbiased rounding. This is generaly incompatible
+with the expected behavior. The ofmta test in the test directory will

+Gawk needs the SYS$TIMEZONE_RULE or TZ logical name to be defined or it
+will output times in GMT.

+The vmstest.com script needs SYS$TIMEZONE_NAME to be defined to match
+the SYS$TIMEZONE_RULE. Older versions of VMS do not define these logical
+names.
