DCL wes. It was the DCL startup scripts that setup the logical variables. But they almost always contained paths to files, and rarely did they contain configuration information. These were usually codified in config files rather than in logical names (although there were some exceptions). The main reason for this was speed. It was faster to read RMS databases than to parse a bunch of logicals. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
