     This submission contains eight subdirectories with items  of  possible
     interest to VMS system managers and users.  All entries include source
     code,  object  code,  executables,  and  documentation.   Updates   to
     previously submitted entries are noted.

     All entries, unless otherwise noted, are written BLISS-32 and  include
     source  in  both BLISS and MACRO (as generated by the BLISS compiler).
     All  include  an  AAAREADME.DOC  file;  some  also   include   further
     documentation.  Unless otherwise noted, programs were linked under VMS
     V5.x; most should run under VMS V4.x if re-linked.

     1.  [.CKALLOC]

         Contains two programs:  CHECKALLOC compares disk quota allocations
         against  space  availble  on  disk  and  lists  the users with the
         largest quotas.  CHKUSE lists the usernames  and  disk  quotas  of
         users who have not logged in since a specific date.  [new]

     2.  [.CLAIM]

         CLAIM is a program that allows a user to become the owner of files
         placed in his or her directories by other users.  Linked under VMS
         V4.7.  [update of Spring 1988 submission]

     3.  [.MDMLIB]

         MDMLIB is a set of utility routines called by some of the programs
         in  this  submission,  and  is required if rebuilding the programs
         from sources.  [update of Spring 1988 submission]

     4.  [.MPMGR]

         MPMGR  (MODPARAMS  Manager)  is   a   program   that   can   build
         MODPARAMS.DAT files for an entire cluster from a central location.
         Linked under VMS V4.7.  Written in PL/I.   [same  as  Spring  1988
         submission]

     5.  [.NSQUERY]

         NSQUERY is  a  utility  that  interrogates  Internet  domain  name
         servers.  Requires CMU-Tektronix TCP/IP V6.3 or later.  [new]

     6.  [.SDFILTER]

         SDFILTER gives a system manager more control over the  destination
         and  page  layout  of VMS Workstation Software (VWS) screen dumps.
         Linked under VMS V4.7.  [update of Spring 1988 submission]

     7.  [.SETUP]

         SETUP is a program through which a system manager  can  centralize
         the  per-user,  per-login  setup  of  applications  software  on a
         system.   Linked  under  VMS  V4.7.   [update   of   Spring   1988
         submission]

     8.  [.WATCHER]

         WATCHER is an very flexible idle-job killer.  The  system  manager
         specifies   which   terminals   should   be  watched;  and,  on  a
         per-terminal basis, which measurements should be used to determine
         that  a  process  is  idle and how long the job should remain idle
         before being logged out.  One can also specify which  jobs  should
         not  be  monitored  based  on  any  combination  of username, UIC,
         identifiers and privileges held, terminal, and day of week/hour of
         day.  LAT terminals are identified by their server and port names.
         Written in PL/I.  For VMS V5.0 or later only.  [update  of  Spring
         1988 submission]
