cdf25-dist.bck   This is the pre-built version of CDF V2.5. It contains
                 the source for the CDF library and tools. It is a
                 backup save set with a block size of 32256. Since the
                 block size gets changed during the ftp, it needs to be 
                 reset back to its original size. An easy way is do that
                 is to create a dummy backup save set file with 32256 
                 bytes block size and copy the downloaded cdf25-dist.bck 
                 to it with /overlay qualifier on. Delete the downloaded 
                 cdf25-dist.bck and rename the dummy file to cdf25-dist.bck. 
                 Read README_VMS.txt to see how to use this backup file.

                 backup save set file and build the library and tools if
                 desire.
