     ARGUS3 is a complete rewrite of a program I got from  an  earlier  SIG
     tape  which  deletes  users  whose  terminals have gone idle.  The old
     version (the author's identity has been lost in  antiquity)  used  the
     slot,  sequence  number  structure of the PID.  This structure will be
     changing in VMS 4.0;  this rewrite uses a full search of PID,  so  all
     it requires is that PID's be unique.

     The old ARGUS also ignored subprocesses (it was written in the days of
     VMS  2.0).   This  one  will  only consider the end-nodes of a process
     tree;  if the entire tree is idle, it will be pruned from the  outside
     in.

     ARGUS3 is written in PASCAL, and the source is included.
