The following are a list of subdirectories and a short description of
what is contained in each.  Some changes may be required due to the 
location of files and related routines.  Hopefully any of these can be 
done with the least amount effort.  All higher level programs are 
documented internally to help any user that may want to modify any of the
code.  If a user does modify any code so that it works better I would 
appreciate a copy.  
  The use of any of these programs is free to any user and is not to be 
sold as is or under any other form.


[.CONFIRM]     - A login message to display to users that is to be 
                 confirmed as to have been read.  Keeps those users
                 that are known to say "WELL NOBODY EVER TOLD ME"
                 very quiet.

[.COMPARE]     - Contains an updated version of Blaine Newlon's Compare
                 program that Compares files byte for byte.  The new
                 version displays characters and a representation for
                 control characters rather than displaying octal codes.

[.DATABASE]    - Contains an interactive database program called DATAFILE.
                 This program uses a directory structure to handle its
                 files.  We have it set up as a problem/solution database;
                 however, this program can easily be set up for other
                 simple databases.  A demo area is included.

[.DELMAIL]     - Contains a command file for use by those unfortunate 
                 souls that do not have VMS 5.0 (ha ha).  This utility 
                 will allow users to delete blocks of mail without delet-
                 ing one at a time.  Slow, but effective.

[.DISK]        - Contains a program that will display statistics on
                 disk usage in general or usage of a particular group
                 or individual.

[.LAST]        - Utility that tells when and how long ago a user logged in.
                 If the user has never logged in, the program will provide
                 the creation date to the users default login directory
                 assuming that this was created at the same time as the
                 account itself.

[.LIST]        - A phone book type utility using indexed files.

[.MISC_COM]    - A few useful command files.

[.OPRSOS]      - A program that uses indexed files to match up sig-
                 nificant events within the OPERATOR.LOG files.  May
                 not work after VMS 5.2.

[.VERSION]     - A utility that displays the current version of software
                 whether it be personal files, layered products or the 
                 version of the operating system (NOT THE FILE NAME 
                 VERSION).  This does not require the SYSTEM MANAGER to 
                 update any files.  I think you will really like this one.
