Alternate file types for RUN ?

Is it possible to setup VMS so that the RUN command looks for file .EXE
first, and if not found, would look for .EXE_VAX on VAX systems and
EXE_AXP for Alphas ? (or whatever) ?

This way, one could easily have two utilities with common code base
reside in the same directory and a user could invoke the utility the
same way whether is is typing the command in a DCL window connected to a
VAX or to an Alpha . (and thus also have the same LOGIN.COM for both platforms).
