11 Arguments:
12 path
13    is the pathname of a registry to be removed from service.  The star
14    convention is accepted.  If the suffix rcpr is not given, it is
15    assumed.

18 Notes:  When a registry is removed, its suffix is changed from rcpr to
19 old.

21 The activity of removing registries is normally reserved to the
22 Initializer process, which will automatically remove a registry when a
23 new RTDT is installed that no longer contains an entry for the resource
24 type associated with that registry.  In general, manual removal of
25 registries is only necessary in the process of recovery from a
26 catastrophic system failure and reload, where the existing registries
27 and the existing RTDT may be out of agreement.  Manual removal of
28 registries at other times can result in unrecoverable errors by RCP
29 Resource Management.
