What could be the problem? Random access?

If so, then perhaps Wei's suggestion is best - simply open the file in "text
mode", translate the lines to be LF-terminated if necessary, and enforce
sequential access. Perhaps provide another mode for appending to the file,
and that's it.

How does that sound in the VMS context?

As said, you VMS people must contribute actively, otherwise we'll just
implement something that works on Windows, et voila.
