11.0. "Suggest no purge for ZAP.DAT" by OVDVAX::MARTIN () Sat Mar 15 1986 21:08

    I would like to suggest that the installation procedure for ZAP
    be modified to not purge ZAP.DAT upon install of the next version.
    I would be really sad if some day I did a VMS upgrade and told it
    to purge the files only to find SYSUAF.DAT empty. 8^) I would even
    settle for a RENAME ZAP.DAT ZAP.OLD_DAT. 
    
    Thanks,
    Christopher

	I think that this is a very good idea. I will implement code to insure that the old version of ZAP.DAT is not lost during an upgrade. Either, the old version will be renamed (when the upgrade requires a new file), or the new version will be named differently. Thanks
