MIRACLE MESSAGE PROGRAM
	-----------------------

	Prints specified text  in  large  letters  (capitals  are  2.7
	inches tall), four rows at a time, vertically 'down the page'.
	Spacing  is  proportional;  characters  are even overlapped to 
	equalize white space (e.g. the '4' in '74' is tucked under the
	'7').  Vertical and Italic Roman  fonts  are  available.   For 
	proper  proportions, the printer must be set to print at eight
	lines per inch.  Additional formats  are  available  on  LA120 
	DECwriters.

	To see an example, print MMSAMPLE.LIS  at eight lines per inch
	with /NOFEED.  	For further information, see MIRACLE.DOC.
	
	This version corrects a problem reported in the version on the
	Spring 1983 (VAX83B) tape.


	REMINDER UTILITY
	----------------

	This is yet another  appointment-reminding utility.   This one
	reminds you when you log in, and 'tickles' you at fixed inter-
	vals as the time  of an appointment approaches.   The reminder
	message  tells  you  when  the appointment is, and what it is.
	The message is formatted in reverse video for VT100+ terminals
	and the bell rings.   It is very easy to add, remove, and show
	appointments.   For  further  information,  see REMINDERS.HLP.
	See REMINDERS.DOC for installation instructions.  This utility
	uses a batch job  (which is usually hibernating)  to send  the
	'tickler' messages.   Use REMINDBLD.COM to rebuild the package
	from its sources.


	SYSMAIL.COM
	-----------

	System Manager's command procedure to compose, send, and arch-
	ive a mail message for all system users.   The message is sent
	to all users in the UAF, except for users specifically exclud-
	ed.   Users can be excluded in two ways--by having their user-
	name hard coded in SYSMAIL.COM,  or by having an ACCOUNT field
	of 'INACT'  in the UAF.   EDT is called from the procedure for
	entry of the message.  When EDT is exited,  the procedure then
	prompts for the 'subject',  and pauses to  allow  cancellation
	of the mail sending.  After the mail is sent, an archival copy
	is prepared, and appended to the file SYS$MANAGER:OLDMAIL.MAI.


	SYLOGIN.COM (partial)
	---------------------

	This fragment of a System-Wide Login Command Procedure changes
	the process name of batch processes, and interactive processes
	of a user who has logged in multiple times, to names which are
	more descriptive than the VMS defaults  (examples of which are
	_JOB532: or _TTA2:).



	NOTIFY COMMAND
	--------------

	This is a general message-sending utility.   It can be used in
	a batch process to send a message to the submitting user.   It
	can  be used in  an interactive command procedure  to format a
	message on the screen  (centered, bold reverse video,  bells).
	It can be used to send messages to other terminals  (either by
	terminal name or by user name).   See NOTIFY.HLP  and the com-
	ments in  NOTIFY.FOR  for more information.  Use NOTIFYBLD.COM
	to rebuild the program from its source.


	REFORMAT COMMAND
	----------------

	This is a utility to easily make a copy of a file in a differ-
	ent format.   Its main purpose is  to change the carriage con-
	trol attribute of the file  (List, Fortran, or None),  but  it
	can also change tabs to blanks,  shift or delete columns, make
	an Indexed Sequential file, etc.   It has two optional methods
	of changing  the carriage control type:   it can copy the file
	verbatim and just change  the attribute, or it can restructure
	each record to conform to the new type.   See REFORMAT.HLP for
	more information.   Use  REFORMBLD.COM  to rebuild the program
	from its source.


	NSWCLIB.OLB
	-----------

	This object library, whose sources are the  files  NSWCLIB.FOR
	and NSWCLIB1.MAR, is required for linking the programs NOTIFY,
	REFORMAT, REMINDER, and REMINDERS.   The routines on this lib-
	rary may also be  useful to you for other applications.   Each
	routine is documented (after a fashion)  internally.   Use the
	procedure NSWCLIB.COM to build the library from the sources.
