* * NOTICE - A system for informing users of announcements at login * * (BLISS compiler is *not* needed; MACRO code is included) * * Author: Hunter Goatley, goathunter@WKUVX1.BITNET * * NOTICE uses a text library as a database for login announcements. When * NOTICE has been added to SYS$SYLOGIN and a user logs in to the system, * NOTICE will look at the modules in the NOTICE library and display a * brief description of any module added since the user's last interactive * login time. The user can then type NOTICE to receive the full * text of the NOTICE message. Notices can be configured so they are always * displayed at login. An example notice upon login is: * * NOTICE topics. Type NOTICE for more information. * * Topic Date Description * --------- ----------- ----------- * FINALS 24-APR-1992 Hours for ACRS labs during Finals Week * * The user would then type NOTICE FINALS to get the full text of the message. * NOTICE emulates TYPE/PAGE when display notice text so that it does not * scroll off the screen before the user has a chance to read it. * * Language: BLISS-32, with MACRO-32 sources also provided * (No BLISS compiler is needed to build NOTICE) * * To retrieve the files, send the following command in a mail message to * FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET: * * SEND NOTICE * * NOTICE is distributed as a VMS_SHARE file in 6 parts (30 blocks each).
