Is it possible to move process dumps from system to system and analyze them
elsewhere (the versions of VMS may differ from system to system)?

I tried this using UUCP to copy the dumps, but when I invoke ANALYZE/PROCESS on
the copies I get:

        SYSTEM-W-BADFILEVER

which is complaining about the version number of a file being bogus.  I'm
trying to transfer a save set containing the dump file to see if that helps.

I can analyze them just fine on the original system.  (Which isn't always an
option)

Has anybody out there done this successfully? and What is the BADFILEVER trying
to tell me.  The system messages and recovery procedures is unhelpful in this
context.
