- Where did you see it in the documentation???
-
- There are references under RUN (Process) in the DCL Dictionary, and under
- $CREPRC in the System Services Reference, to what is now called the "nouaf"
- option -- don't check the UAF if the image being run happens to be loginout.exe
- .
-
- However I can find nothing that says that running loginout.exe in a process of
- your own creation is the way to create a process that runs DCL.
-
- The last time I talked to VMS developers about this, they would not commit to
- "it'll never change". In fact they hinted very strongly that I shouldn't count
- on it never changing.
-
- Personally I wish they'd either commit to supporting it or get on with doing
- something else -- but in the meantime I'm not going to depend on it.
