VMS Help  —  AEST  /EXECUTABLE  Description
    By default, AEST creates a translated image unless the command
    line specifies qualifiers that are incompatible (the /AUDIT
    qualifier, for example), and as long as AEST does not encounter
    error conditions that prevent image translation. If AEST issues
    ERROR or FATAL messages, it does not create a translated image.

    If you do not provide a file specification, AEST writes the
    translated image to the current directory and names it by
    appending _AV to the input image's file name. For example,
    if the name of the OpenVMS Alpha image is PROGRAM.EXE, the default
    name of the translated image is PROGRAM_AV.EXE.

                                   NOTE

       A file name cannot exceed 39 characters in length. Because
       of this limitation, AEST truncates any input image file name
       that exceeds 36 characters to append the characters _AV.
