	Today I tried to retrieve the fortran savesets from TU58s
to install on a few machines using vmsinstal's GET option. I ran
into a little problem...
	It appears that when using the get option, if backup encounters
any errors (like recoverable media errors) the file VMSBCKERR.TMP is
created (it is assigned to SYS$ERROR). In creating the new disk saveset,
VMSINSTAL included the VMSBCKERR.TMP file. This caused subsequent
VMSINSTAL's to fail because the file VMSBCKERR.TMP couldn't be created
since it already exists (as the new SYS$ERROR of the restoring BACKUP
image).
	Has anyone else had this problem?
