You know the 'hacker helpful' messages that MPE gives you when you make a
mistake during logon, for example:

MPE/iX:hello
Expected [session name,] user.acct [,group]. (CIERR 1424)

and

MPE/iX:hello fred
Expected account name. (CIERR 10130)

Well, several years ago I found a job (on a CSL swap tape I think) that
would replace all this 'helpful' text in your message catalogue with
'*invalid*' and then rebuild it. I now find that I have a need for this and
have lost the original job (well it was over 10 years ago that I last used
it!).

Can anybody help?
