     1.  NEWS - [DECUS.FALL86SUBMITTAL.NEWS]

         A general purpose NEWS utility which allows the system manager  to
         "get the word" to his/her user community.

     2.  REMOTE - [DECUS.FALL86SUBMITTAL.REMOTE]

         A command procedure similar to DEC's TELL which allows the  system
         manager   to   issue  commands  to  remote  nodes  on  a  cluster.
         Documentation  is  incorporated  as  comments   in   the   command
         procedure.

         A program which acquires and displays metrics on a continous basis
         for   an  individual  process.   Useful  for  tuning  working  set
         parameters.  (This one won't work with REMOTE)

     4.  VIEWSYSTEM - [DECUS.FALL86SUBMITTAL.VIEWSYSTEM]

         A program which displays process, username,  login  time,  process
         state,  and  image  currently  running  for  all  processes on the
         system.  Useful for watching all users on system.   (It  will  run
         with REMOTE)
