545.1	Rename ERRLOG.SYS...	XDELTA::HOFFMAN	Steve, OpenVMS Engineering	`Tue Apr 29 1997 11:16`	8
	The error log file format appears to be corrupted -- rename the old ERRLOG.SYS to ERRLOG.OLD, and allow the error logger to create a new log file. Also note that OpenVMS Alpha often prefers the use of DECevent for examining errors...
545.2	Use DECevent	BSS::JILSON	WFH in the Chemung River Valley	`Tue Apr 29 1997 11:22`	6
	On Alpha you should be using DIAGNOSE to analyze the errorlog. This is DECevent and the latest kit is V2.3, I believe. See SPECXN::DECEVENT for more information. Jilly
