These are my contributions to the SIG tapes, consisting of
miscellaneous stuff I've come up with recently. 

 [.COMMANDS] Contains various command procedures I've come up with
             that I find useful which aren't application specific. 
             They include all of the valid items for F$GETDVI,
             F$GETJPI and F$GETSYI, and examples of DCL
             "programming". 

 [.ERLANG] Contains some programs which solve traffic and blocking
           problems using the Erlang B formulas.  There are two
           versions in VAX C (one uses SMG, the other doesn't) and a
           text library containing a FORTRAN version written a long
           time ago (originally for a PDP-11) but which still works.

 [.MAIL] contains some programs that use the Mail Call interface
         which are new or revised since my last set.

 [.NETWORK] contains a program which tells you your device's
            Ethernet address, and two programs which converts some
            of the information in an NCP log file into a fixed
            format which is a lot easier to read: the FORTRAN
            original from Gary Rice and my version in C.  It also
            has a Datatrieve definition to read the resulting file.

 [.PROGRAMS] contains a number of programs.  Some are utilities (one
             gets a file name from a file ID), some just explore how
             some services work (like doing a GETJPI with a
             wild-card PID), and some are just fun (the game of LIFE
             in C). 

 [.SMG] Sample SMG programs in C.  The SMG manual has lots of
        examples in numerous languages, but none in C.  I converted
        several of them from the manuals and from the previous
        symposium VAX SIG session notes.

 [.UNMESSAGE] is a utility from an old DECUS tape that takes a VMS
              Message executable image and converts (most) of it
              back to a text source file.  The old program had one
              routine in FORTRAN, which I don't have, so I converted
              it to all Macro-32 and improved some of the error
              handling.
