Be careful with this, it burned me once.  System manager had a logical
name defined to send SYSTEM to her regular account.  I run the linker to
link a program that has a module of nonportable stuff called system.  I
get error message from linker  can't find module "managersname".  Not
fun and can occur anywhere logicals names would get translated.  It's
better unless you can't to have a disusered account with mail forwarding
set for this sort of thing.
