Adding a slash between the directoryt and the file is a problem with
VMS. The C RTL can handle it well if the "directory" is a logical name with no colon, therefore ending being 'logname/file'. However, if the given logical names actually has a colon, or if you use a full VMS-syntax directory, you end up with 'logname:/file' or 'dev:[dir1.dir2]/file', and that isn't handled in any good way. So, on VMS, we need to check if the directory string ends with a separator (one of ':', ']' or '>' (< and > can be used instead [ and ])), and handle that by not inserting anything between the directory spec and the file name. In all other cases, it's assumed the directory spec is a logical name, so we need to place a colon between it and the file. Notified by Kevin Greaney <kevin.greaney@hp.com>.
