[VAX82B.COLUMBIA]AAAREADME.TXT

This submission consists of 3 subdirectories:

[.FINGER]	a complete system for a show-system like utility which
		can serve as a local utility with features such as
		username, personal name, image, terminal location, up-time,
		# users logged on, etc. as well as personal information
		(plan-file and mail information) about specific users.
		This type of utility is sometimes called WHO or SYSTAT.

		It also serves as an outbound and inbound DECnet server
		able to talk to VAXes and other systems on DECnet and 
		compatible with Tops-20 finger, and ARPAnet finger.

[.MANAGER]	Several utilities useful for system management, including
		.COM files to set up new accounts and directories, a program
		to "rationalize" process names (e.g. "_TTE2:" --> "SMITH_TTE2")
		a version of SCRFT supporting Hazeltine and Datamedia terminals,
		procedures for backup and archiving, a program to blank out
		the data in a file before deleting to prevent "scavenging"
		and others.

[.UTILS]	Several generally useful utilities, including procedures to
		run editors with file-name "memory", procedures to "do" a
		given command to a series of files, a program to map a file
		to memory and others.


All programs have run for at least several months under VMS V3.0 and
a number of them require V3.0.

Separate documentation files are in each subdirectory.

Any suggestions or questions would be welcome.
