Not too much of a concern for private use, but be careful if doing so in
a sensitive environment: this can open a BIG security hole!
This utility were far better off if it would ask for a password and
compare to the SYSUAF before letting you become SYSTEM, as the
originally asked-for "su -" would do, too.

Or simply
MACRO PERSONA
LINK PERSONA
After all, that's what default file types were invented for! ;-)
The PERSONA system services appeared in VMS V6.2, so this is the minimum
version for this utility to work.
