Thanks to all who replied. Digital Unix does this automatically
it seems. It is the default.
There is a note in the man page for chmod:
t [Digital] Save text permission.
[Digital] In earlier versions of the UNIX system, setting this
permission bit caused the text segment of a program to remain in
virtual memory after its first use. The system thus avoided hav-
ing to transfer the program code of frequently accessed programs
into the paging area. A t appears in the execute position of the
all others option to indicate that the file has this bit (the
sticky bit) set.
which implies you don't need to do this any more!
