I think that the problem here is that DreamKey looks at the name
field, and for example sees "GAME " (4 spaces padding) and gets
GAME.VMS (coz it's smart)

however PlanetWeb expects null-terminated strings (if you null
terminate then dreamkey works too)

I think this is right, anyway (please feel free to correct me!!)
