Those files are not present in the .zip file.  They are built by the
FRONTPORT_STARTUP.COM procedure.  The binaries are in object library
format.  The *.obj_axp and OLB_AXP should be present.

This is to allow running the images on an earlier version of VMS than
I compiled on.

The frontport___set_user_*.exe must be linked against the system image
for the specific version of OpenVMS in use.  The FRONTPORT_STARTUP.COM
procedure takes care of this automatically.

The FRONTPORT_STARTUP.COM expects that all the files that it needs to
build and install the image are in the same directory that it is.

You can use the set verify, and the directory command to see better
what the problem is.
