enhancements. We found that it create a file "*****.A;1" after extracting

The Answer is :

 
  All OpenVMS VAX versions, and OpenVMS Alpha prior to V7.1-2, use the
  VMSINSTAL utility for the installation of ECO kits:
 
    $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL
 
  For details on installing, upgrading, and updating OpenVMS, please see
  the OpenVMS documentation.  Specifically, please see the information on
  using VMSINSTAL that is available at:
 
http://www.openvms.digital.com:8000/72final/6017/6017pro_004.html#6017inst_upg
 
  This documentation is targeted for the OpenVMS V7.2 release, but the
  included VMSINSTAL information is generally quite applicable here.
 
  OpenVMS Alpha V7.1-2 and later use PCSI kits for OpenVMS ECO kits.  The
  command used to install PCSI-based ECO kits is:
 
     $ PRODUCT INSTALL patchname /SOURCE=ddcu:[dir]
