DECwest can you please look at this?

Farrell, you successfully un-bcreated the old file (w/ just the "bcs -o").
Now just bcreate the new one.  You can use -c to set the comment
leader for a script:

     bcreate -c"# " dhcp

If you've already done the bcreate use    bcs -c"# " dhcp

copy in the old contents, with the header from /usr/sde/osf1/headers/header.sh
(or .ksh or .bsh or .csh)

Sounds like 'bcreate -undo' has confusing messages - it used to be that
this wasn't a command, because it was ambiguous; I see from the man page
it is now; perhaps there's a bug here.  "bcs [-u] -o" does what you want.
A routine process we have will clean remove the stub left in the rcs pool.
