Phillip, several of us have more than once suggested that you should just do a 
new V8.4 build and try it.  You seem to indicate that you have extra disks. 
This one simple test, and doing a fresh install of VMS is rather easy, 
regardless of what one curmudgeon seems to claim, and would be far easier than 
all the time you've wasted trying to "fix" something where you don't even know 
what's wrong or what to fix.

You haven't yet demonstrated that there is actually a problem in VMS V8.4, which 
should be your first step.

Why ask for advice and help if you're going to ignore any you don't like?
