228.1How about this?JAWS::STRYKERStew StrykerThu Apr 09 1987 15:596
    In the kit my system manager installed, I found the file:
    
    	doc$local_formats:CUP_designs.dat
    
    which I promptly renamed to DOC_designs.dat.  What my system manager
    doesn't know, won't hurt me.

    The message is really a warning, though it looks fatal. The DOC
    part is W, and the RMS part is F. You get the message because we
    have determined that
    
    1. the logical name DOC$LOCAL_FORMATS is defined
    2. We assume it exists as the location of a DOC$DESIGNS.DAT file
    3. There isn't a DOC$DESIGNS.DAT file there
    
    so we issue a warning and go on.
    
    The CUP$DESIGNS.DAT is a valid DOC$DESIGNS.DAT and needed renaming
    on machines that didn't have existing files from Base Level 6. (we
    didn't want to distribute a new file called DOC$DESIGNS.DAT because
    it would have wiped out existing files...)
