MAINT Installation Guide
Last update:  21-Sep-1988

   Welcome to MAINT!  First a little bit about what MAINT does.

   MAINT is a screen-oriented file and directory maintenance program.  It will
allow you to do all sorts of things to files and directories with just a few
keystrokes.  It also makes it easier to scan a bunch of directories and sub-
directories very quickly.  It has a number of different startup options for
formatting the information on the screen and the a whole slew of commands
that may be specified.

   I know the above paragraph seems a little sketchy but after you start using
MAINT, I think that you will find that it can be a very useful tool.  We
have been using it for quite a while here and I have gotten a lot of positive
feedback on it, including many suggestions for improving it.

   The idea for MAINT is not necessarily my own.  I was influenced by a number
of different packages that I have seen on many different machines.  Nothing
like it existed for VMS, however (at least not here!).  I started writing it
one day, borrowing all kinds of ideas from a very similar program that was
written by a co-worker some time ago for our DECsystem-10.
