Larry and Bill:
There are some JSYS differences between TOPS20 releases that require
knowing what release you are running. There is no way to find out
from TOPS20 what release is being run, so the TOPS20.RELEASE file
came into being. If I remember right, one of the primary places
that required knowing that information was in the implementation
of the USERNAME and DIRECTORYNAME functions.
The value in the file should be just a number; it is read with the
NIN jsys.
