I have a "disk" called "UTIL:" where all tools and freeware are stored.

$ sh log util
    "UTIL" = "DSA100:[UTIL.]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
$

$ d util:[000000]*.dir

Directory UTIL:[000000]

BAT.DIR;1                                        1   6-JAN-2002 21:34:33.48
...
UNZIP.DIR;1                                     10   6-JAN-2002 20:56:22.76
...
ZIP.DIR;1                                        6   6-JAN-2002 20:20:54.27

Total of 73 files, 168 blocks.


Then a common COM file to define all symbols:

$ typ util:[000000]util_symbols.com
$!
$ zip       :== $util:[zip]zip.axp_exe
$ unzip     :== $util:[unzip]unzip.axp_exe
...
$ bat       :== $util:[bat]bat
...
$


Finaly an entry in SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM to run that
COM file:

$ search sys$manager:sylogin.com util
$ @util:[000000]util_symbols

A new "utility" can be put into a new directory and the common
COM file updated. No logon COM files has to be modified.
