:Can anyone explaint what the major differences are?

   WORMS-11 is the FILES-11 format tweaked to run on a write-once device.
   FILES-11 assumes a rewritable storage media -- adding a new filename
   entry into an existing directory is just not feasible on WORM drive.

   storage management software (OSMS) product around, as well...  See
