I've been have a great deal of trouble maintaining correct versions of
the utility programs on all the systems. In order to remove this as
a problem, I moved the utilities directories to a cluster common
disk yesterday. I was under the mistaken impression that everybody
had been using the logical names UTL$COM and UTL$EXE to reach the
programs since we'd enabled those names about 7 years ago which would
have made this move transparent to everybody.

If in your *.COM files you have assigned your own private logicals
to SYS$SYSDEVICE:[UTILITIES...], you will find they won't work anymore.
You will need to replace all of them to:

	SYS$SYSDEVICE:[UTILITIES.COM]	-> UTL$COM:
	SYS$SYSDEVICE:[UTILITIES.EXE]	-> UTL$EXE:
	SYS$SYSDEVICE:[UTILITIES]	-> UTL$MAC:

You may use the GSR (Global Search and Replace) procedure to fix them
all if you like:

	$ SET DEFAULT SYS$LOGIN		!go to your home directory
	$ GSR [...]*.COM		!edit all .COM files

It'll ask for the search string to which you reply with one of the
above strings. Type return to the next 2 prompts (No and No) then
type the appropriate substitution string to the 3rd prompt. You'll
need to do this once for each string to change (there's probably
no UTL$MAC references anywhere, so you might be able to skip that one).

Sorry for any inconvience this may have caused anyone.
