     This submission consists of assorted tools and procedures  for  system
     programming and management functions.  The authors would be interested
     in hearing of any problems or  suggestions  which  anyone  might  have
     regarding  these submissions.  As usual, this submission was assembled
     at the last moment.  As a result,  the  documentation  may  be  a  bit
     sketchy.  Please feel free to call if you need further information.

     1.  [.FILES]
         FILES is a program to locate  large  files  stored  on  disk.   It
         understands volume sets and executes quickly by mapping INDEXF.SYS
         into process space.  FILES can also perform a  directory  by  uic.
         This  software will probably break when Version 4 is released, but
         we will try to fix it in time for the next tape.

     2.  [.FINDFILE]
         FINDFILE  is  a  program  to  locate  a  file  given  a   physical
         (cylinder/track/sector)  or  logical  (lbn) address.  The complete
         filespec is returned if a file is  occupying  the  given  address.
         FINDFILE  is  understands  volume sets and runs quickly by mapping
         INDEXF.SYS into process space.  This software will probably  break
         when  Version 4 is released, but we will try to fix it in time for
         the next tape.

     3.  [.PTY] This directory contains  software  to  support  a  "pseudo"
         terminal  (PTY)  device  on a VAX/VMS system.  A PTY is a software
         device similar to a mailbox which properly executes  all  terminal
         specific  I/O functions.  Included is a program which uses the PTY
         device to LOG A TERMINAL SESSION TO A DISK FILE.

     4.  [.REMOTECMD] This directory commands two DCL procedures that allow
         one  to execute DCL commands on a remote node, via DECnet, without
         actually logging in.
