In VMS, MIDASHOME and MIDVERS symbols could be inferred from your own SETMIDAS or INMIDAS definitions. In UNIX, the parameters of the command inmidas override the values of the environment variables MIDASHOME and MIDVERS variables.

In VMS, the logical name MID_DISK refers to the disk where the MIDAS system is stored and MIDASHOME to the main directory. In UNIX, the variable MIDASHOME refers to the root directory of MIDAS. The symbol MIDVERS holds the MIDAS version, e.g. 91NOV in VMS and UNIX.

In VMS, there is no distinction between file names in upper or lower case. In UNIX there is a difference! Therefore, the convention in MIDAS is to always use lower case for filenames (which you may type in as upper case in VMS).
