Here's a program I whipped up to more intelligently handle logical
name assignments in a Startup-Sequence.  It reads all the files from
the "SYS:Names" directory, each of which has one or more lines logical
to physical assignments.  It sorts them according to dependencies,
then makes all the name assignments.  This managed to get every single
"Assign" command out of my Startup-Sequence, and it makes adding new
names a simple matter of dropping a new "names" file into SYS:Names.
This compiles under Lattice C V5.02 (binary included), and is fully
public domain.
