I  think  that   it  is  about  time  SCI   issued  some  'written'
explaination  of  exactly  how  to   do  this  for  their  VMSECURE
customers, as it would seem that many people (myslef included) find
the exact steps needed to get  local mods accepted by SES mote than
a little  confusing (perhaps IBM might  take this on board  for any
new SES documentation they write as well!!!)

I'm afraid that I  have a very 'ceap and nasty'  way of doing this.

First find the exact name  (actually filetypes) of the IBM versions
of HCPRPD,HCPRPI  and HCPRPW that  would have been included  in the
nucleus. then put  the SCI version on your LOCALMODS  disk with the
same names, then  run the SES stuff. SES will  complain about there
being a mismatch  between the SCS stuff and that  identified by the
AUX(?) file but this setup does work.

Of course you will need to keep  a eye open for any new versions of
HCPRPD,HCPRPI and HCPRPW and check the CP load map, but since we do
this anyway its not too much of a pain.

** Perhaps  someone who  understands how  local CP  mods should  be
** incorporated using  SES would  post a 'cookbook'  expaination, I
** for one would welcome it.
