Creating MMS

VMS IDE can create MMS files automatically based on the project type and types of its dependencies.
For shareable images, an OPT file is created, but the universal symbol vector must be edited, so that other images could link to this image.
If the project depends on some shareable images, a COM file is created with logicals required for running the project.
