Not sure why you need to change what MACRO/CREF are already doing; 
they work as is under RSTS.  If you're fixing a Y2k bug the file 
chaining code, and for that matter the rest as well, works just as 
well under RSTS as it does under RT.  I would think the best approach 
is not to change anything, unless it specifically addresses a bug.
