Being a relatively fearless system manager, I've installed "minor"
items like new compiler versions on live systems on a VAXCluster and
then just logged into the "other" system and used INSTALL to REPLACE
the shared images.

Datatrieve and others were done on semi-live systems due to the lenght
of time required for the install and other factors (more complex products).

Factors in installing on live systems are:

	- updating the shared images on the other nodes (can be easily
	  done with INSTALL REPLACE).

	- a user might interfere with the install by using the HELPLIB
	  at the time the installation attempts to put a new module into
	  the library.

	- new DCLTABLES can be installed on other nodes by the same
	  INSTALL trick as above.  But users must logout and back in
	  to use the new tables.

	- others I've probably forgotten.
