I understand there's a SWXCR utility or something for this? I did some digging and found that I still had the install kits that I used to use on my Alpha system way back when. I put it into DUSTY::, but it seems that I'm offline at the moment. Oh, and I don't think that you can use this to initialize the arrays while VMS is running, but it's been so long that I cannot recall. --Marc
