          This is the first submission from  Western  Kentucky  University.
     All  of  the  programs  for  this  submission  were  written by Hunter
     Goatley, except the [.COMPILE] directory,  which  contains  a  program
     written  by  James  Wagoner,  another  student programmer here at WKU.
     Many of the programs here are still being modified and  updated;  most
     of  the  work  was  done  over  the summer of 1985.  Modifications and
     extensions to the programs came only when I had some  spare  time.   I
     think  most  of  the programs are fairly well documented in the source
     files for each.


                                The Directories


      >  [.BACKUP] -- Programs that display our BACKUP schedule and  create
         a command procedure to perform our backups.


      >  [.COMMENT] -- VAX-11 PL/1 and VAX-11 Pascal Documentation packages


      >  [.COMPILE] -- Command  procedure  that  will  compile,  link,  and
         execute  a  program  in  any  VAX  language.   Submitted  by James
         Wagoner.


      >  [.COMPRESS] -- A program that converts unnecessary ASCII blanks to
         ASCII tabs for a specified file.


      >  [.LOGIN] -- A MACRO32 program that replaced  my  LOGIN.COM  (well,
         almost).  Also a template for building new LOGIN programs.


      >  [.MACROIO] -- Some I/O routines and macros designed  to  make  I/O
         from MACRO32 easier.
                                                                          Page 2


      >  [.MAILSTUFF]-- Various  programs  that  supplement  the  VMS  MAIL
         facility,  including  MAILRRR,  which will tell you if someone has
         read a message you sent.


      >  [.SHOWS] -- Various SHOW programs, including a pretty SHOW TIME.


      >  [.UTILS] -- Programs to kill processes by username and change  the
         baud rate for a terminal interactively.


      >  [.WKUMON] -- A process monitor program written in MACRO32.



     All of the programs are written in either DCL, VAX-11 PL/1, or MACRO32
     and,  as  far  as  I  know,  will  work on all versions of VMS (we are
     running v4.2).  .OBJ and  .EXE  files  have  been  included  with  the
     sources.   Most  of  these programs contain ANSI escape sequences that
     will work only on VT100-compatible terminals.  It shouldn't be hard to
     modify the codes to work on other terminals.


     I'm extremely interested in hearing what you think of  these  programs
     and   would   greatly   appreciate   any   comments,  suggestions  for
     improvements, or job offers (I graduate in December of 1986!).
