CLRREF, Utilities, Clear the Device Reference Count If you've ever seen a LAT port owned by a nonexistent process, you've wondered how to eliminate it without a system reboot. This program will assign a channel to a device, set the ownership to be its own, set the reference count down to 1, and then deassign the channel. Poof, magic, it's all fixed. Of course crashes could if any outstanding I/O ever completes, but that's the beauty of VMS.
