Uility to find out a file name starting from it's FID (File Identification number).A 'FID' is a file identification of three numbers; Files-11 file system use it to identify a file onto disks. If you know the "FID" of a file but not it's name (some analyze utilities can give this result) you can use FID to find out the real name of the file.
Version 1.0 works with OpenVMS VAX.

VAX/ALPHA OBJ and EXE included.
Easy to use; you need Read access to the file, or SYSPRV privilege.

Here are two examples of use.
