In addition to running BULDACCT - suggest also regularly running DIRK (NEWA
@;OUT=account-structure-jobstream-filename)

The buldacct output is too verbose to use for easily recreating and/or
modifying account structures from a known state.

DIRK produces a much more concise output file which seems to work fine.

Personally, I would use neither the buldacct nor the dirk output files in a
re-install situation. I would instead use the directory on my backup or slt
tape.

I don't trust buldacct. It used to have bugs that caused me some grief and
additional work. It may still have - although I still use it regularly to
create the output files)

DIRK is a wonderful utility authored by the Boeing people and is available
from the Interex contributed library.
