[fa.info-vax] CONVERSION OF SYSUAF.DAT BETWEEN VMS 3.0 AND 4.0

This question has probably been asked before, but I'll ask it again.
Is there a way of converting the format of SYSUAF.DAT under VMS 3.x
so that it is compatible with VMS 4.x ?? The 4.x version appears to
use a different keyed access. It would be nice to have a program
which does this conversion rather than have to recreate the author-
ization file from scratch. Any ideas?

					Thanks in advance,

SYSUAF format:

The file is automatically converted to VMS V4.0 format as part of the
upgrade.   If you don't do the upgrade (i.e. build V4.0 from scratch
for some reason and then copy your SYSUAF from some other disk) then
you should search through the upgrade stuff and find the program that does
it.  I never looked for it but clearly it's got to be there.
