Hi,
  I've been wondering what can and can not be changed in the VMS operating
system w/o getting the wrath of DEC flung at you.  I have heard people mention
writing applications and hooks into [STS0.SYSEXE]LOGINOUT.EXE, and other
fairly major parts of VMS.
  My question is, according to DEC software agreements, can these files be
legally altered?  I haven't been able to find any mention of what a site
running VMS can alter and what they can't.
  Any clues appreciated.

/Steve
