----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I'd like to get a copy of your mods to BECOME if possible, please. Sounds
like a good thing to add, at least optionally. (Wonder if this could be used
somehow to mess up someone who was using become...?) Thanks.

 Possible trouble:
  The mod is to execute a COM file using LIB$DO_COMMAND ; this has been hacked
  in FORTRAN since I know no PASCAL.
  The COM file contains
   DELETE/SYMBOL/ALL/GLOBAL
   DELETE/KEY/ALL
   @SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN
   @SYS$LOGIN:LOGIN

  The protection on that COM file is crucial ; if someone gets ahold of it
  he could insert DELETE/NOCONFIRM *.*;* or worse INITIALIZE/ERASE DUA0:
  This is my worst nightmare ; I am going to allow access by ACL only on my
  system. Some other people have expressed interest in doing it more elegantly
  I will send them the code soon.
  3 VMS_SHARE files follow.
