specify either UNIX-style file names or OpenVMS-style file names
specify either UNIX-style file names or OpenVMS-style file names
.
The Oracle
HTTP Server usually displays UNIX-style file names.

This lack of full support imposes certain

You can, however, modify the last example so that it will work as an OpenVMS
extended file name that has a tilde (~) as the first character
