Here's what I do for my "acquired software".
First I create a hierarchy on the system disk:
$ CRE/DIR/LOG SYS$SYSDEVICE:[AS]
$ CRE/DIR/LOG SYS$SYSDEVICE:[AS.CKERMIT]
$ CRE/DIR/LOG SYS$SYSDEVICE:[AS.TOOLS]
$ CRE/DIR/LOG SYS$SYSDEVICE:[AS.LYNX]
$ CRE/DIR/LOG SYS$SYSDEVICE:[AS.VIM]
Then in system startup I define a system logical for the top:
$ DEFINE /SYSTEM /EXECUTIVE_MODE -
/TRANSLATION_ATTRIBUTES=CONCEALED AS_ROOT SYS$SYSDEVICE:[AS.]
And logicals for the rest of the directories
$ @SYS_DEFINE_LOGICALS_STARTUP AS
which executes:
$!
$! DEFINE_LOGICALS.COM - Define logical names for a hierarchy on SYS$SYSDEVICE
$!
$! P1 = Top level directory name
$!
$ ON ERROR THEN EXIT
$ IF p1 .EQS. ""
$ THEN
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT "No top level directory name given"
$ EXIT
$ ENDIF
$ IF F$TRNLNM("''p1'_ROOT") .EQS. ""
$ THEN
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT "''p1'_ROOT not defined"
$ EXIT
$ ENDIF
$GET_DIRNAME:
$ filespec = F$SEARCH("SYS$SYSDEVICE:[''p1']*.DIR")
$ dirname = F$PARSE(filespec,,,"NAME","SYNTAX_ONLY")
$ IF dirname .EQS. "" THEN EXIT
$ trnname = F$TRNLNM("''p1'_''dirname'")
$ IF trnname .NES. "" THEN GOTO GET_DIRNAME
$ DEFINE /SYSTEM /EXECUTIVE_MODE 'p1'_'dirname' 'p1'_ROOT:['dirname']
$ GOTO GET_DIRNAME
$!
I've put all of the ckermit files in [as.ckermit], and
miscellaneous tools like zip in [as.tools].
Then for all the *.exe files in as_tools, I have this
in the system login procedure:
...
$!
$get_as_tools_exe:
$ f = f$search("AS_TOOLS:*.*EXE")
$ if f .eqs. "" then goto done_as_tools_exe
$ e = f$parse(f,,,"NAME","SYNTAX_ONLY")
$ t = f$parse(f,,,"TYPE","SYNTAX_ONLY")
$ 'e' :== $as_tools:'e''t'
$ goto get_as_tools_exe
$!
$done_as_tools_exe:
...
and something similar for the specific directories
like [as.ckermit]
However, HP has in the past used a different hierarchy for
some tools. For example, LTT gets put in
sys$sysdevice:[vms$common.opt.ltt]
I assume that if I installed LTT on some Linux system, it
woudl get put in /opt/ltt.
You might consider that as well.
