VMS device driver names are, by convention, two letters and the word DRIVER, as in LDDRIVER. This name is not only a file name, but must be encoded in the device image itself. In this way, the device identifies itself to VMS. Problems can exist if a site has two different drivers to be loaded, both of which have the same name. This can sometimes happen when sites purchase or evaluate a number of third party vendor products. Since VMS will not allow different drivers to share the same name, one driver either must be renamed (typically through the vendor), or only one device can be used at a time. FIXDRIVER solves this problem by modifying the driver image internal name to a user specified value. Thus, a driver named LDDRIVER could be changed to something else, say SPDRIVER. Please note that FIXDRIVER only changes the internal image name. The user will need to perform a RENAME on the file itself to rename it. FIXDRIVER assumes that the "current" name of the driver is of the form XXDRIVER. If it is not, no change will be made to the image, and the program will report an error.
