Yes, something. Your SYS$LIBRARY:FORSYSDEF.TLB has been screwed up by DEC.
The module $SMGDEF which you find there should be called $SMGMSGDEF.
If you go back to your installation procedure, you can manually rectify it.
Or you can use part 6 of my SWING posting.

If SWING were written using IMPLICIT NONE this would be detected at compile
time.
