Ok. On my TCPware systems, the file is TCPWARE:TCPWARE_CONFIGURE.COM
(where TCPWARE translates - besides others - to SYS$SYSROOT:[TCPWARE])
In very old TCPWARE versions (like yours), it was [TCPIP] but I can't
remember when this changed (to avoid confusions with DEC's UCX product).
So, sorry for not providing the correct hint.

Sorry for not guessing the correct hint.

Don't think so (and it is SYS$SYSDEVICE)
