Can the MAINT 51D version of the DIRECTXA MODULE just be erased or is there anything to tidy up in the VMSYS:MAINT file below or in VMSES ?

I have consulted with the Oracle at Delphi. I was informed that you have discovered one of the side effects of the Second Law of Thermodynamics (an unbalanced system tends towards Chaos). Apparently there was some sort of matter distortion wave and the DIRECTXA MODULE was duplicated. Not split in half, mind you, but duplicated. One copy was Evil and went to the 51D. The other, the Good copy, went to the 190. The Oracle and one of her High Priestesses, as one Voice, instruct me to say unto you all: "If thou hast z/VM 5.3, then thou hast both Good and Evil. The Resident Evil is to be destroyed at once. Leave not a trace or crumb from which it may regenerate. If thou hast an elder version of z/VM 5.3, then thou art immune and have the protection of the Gods." Sure. Right. This is the problem talking to an Oracle: they talk funny. Delete DIRECTXA MODULE from the 51D and all will be well. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do via a PTF to automatically delete the offending module. (Sysprogs get upset when we start deleting things *we* don't think should be on the system.) Consequently, no need for a call to the Support Center. We will place a notice in the PSP bucket.
