	The previous manager of my VAX decided to get clever some time back,
and set up a bunch of group-dependant logical names so that everybody could
refer to their permanant and scratch disk devices as DP: and DT: respectively.
This was accomplished with a bunch of SET UIC [xxx,1] and ASSIGN/GROUP commands.
Needless to say, this no longer works with VMS v4.1.  I have kludged it in the
system login file for now, but it would be nice to be able to assign group
logical names at system startup time again.  Has anybody figured out how to
do this?  Any help would be much appreciated.
