Sorry if you received two copies of this. I sent the first one to the wrong
address.

I have a question that I am hoping someone on the discussion list can
help me with. I work with a structure that I will draw a picture of
(a picture is worth a thousand words?).

                                  Division
                                     |
                                     |

   |               |                 |                 |                 |
Dept. 1         Dept. 2           Dept. 3           Dept. 4           Dept. 5

| | | |         | | | |           | | | |           | | | |           | | | |

What I am looking to do (and I am not a technical person) is this. We want
to have LOGIN.COM files or something similiar that reside in the directory of
the Division level and each of the department levels. Then when one of the users

login the LOGIN.COM will be executed on the division level first, the department

level next, and if it exists, the account level next.

With this kind of setup a division could placed information in the LOGIN.COM
that is only necessary for that division. This might include messages,
important information, etc. Everyone in that division would execute the
LOGIN.COM file when they login. The departments could also do the same thing
with each person in that department executing the division and then the
departmental LOGIN.COM.

My question is can this been done without any changes to VMS? Has anyone
implemented something similar?

Many thanks in advance as this is becomming a political issue and I hope to
head it off. Thanks again.
