    EXPORT COMMAND
    --------------


	This is like the DCL command SUBMIT,  except that it waits for
	the submitted job(s) to complete  before it terminates.   This
	allows procedures to test the results of other jobs,  possibly
	on other VAXcluster nodes, before continuing. This can be used
	to implement a dependency tree of batch jobs.  EXPORT also has
	other added features, documented in EXPORT.HLP.


    SD COMMAND
    ----------


	Yes, yet still another Set/Show Directory  command.   This one
	uses  the  VT100  line-drawing  set to draw a tree showing the
	subdirectory structure within the current default,  and allows
	you to use  EDT-like  keypad commands  to manipulate this dis-
	play.  For a quick example, enter:

		$ SET DEFAULT [VAX86A]

		$ @[VAX86A.NSWC]SD *

	This version of SD is mostly implemented via a FORTRAN program
	instead of DCL commands, and runs faster (on our VAX, anyway).

	For further information, see SD.DOC.  See SD.TXT for a list of
	the changes since the last deliveries,  Spring 1985 and Spring
	1986.  It has been significantly enhanced.



    LET COMMAND
    -----------


	LET is a shorthand way of doing DEFINEs or ASSIGNs in the same
	way that SD is a shorthand way of doing SET DEFAULTs.  See the
	LET.HLP file for examples.  Examine BLDLET.COM for information
	on the installation of the command.   Also see SD.DOC for rel-
	ated information.  LET and SD are closely related.  This is an
	update of the Spring 1986 delivery.



    REMINDER UTILITY
    ----------------

	This is yet another  appointment-reminding utility.   This one
	reminds you when you log in, and 'tickles' you at fixed inter-
	vals as the time  of an appointment approaches.   The reminder
	message  tells  you  when  the appointment is, and what it is.
	The message is formatted in reverse video for VT100+ terminals
	and the bell rings.   It is very easy to add, remove, and show
	appointments.   For  further  information,  see  REMINDER.HLP.
	See REMINDERS.DOC for installation instructions.  This utility
	uses a detached process (which is usually hibernating) to send
	the 'tickler' messages. Use BLDREMIND.COM to rebuild the pack-
	age from its sources.

	This product has appeared on previous SIG tapes.   It has been
	updated extensively  to work correctly on VAXclusters, to eas-
	ily allow users to give other users permission to access their
	appointment data, to allow all inputs on the command line, etc.



    KILL AND BKILL COMMANDS
    -----------------------


	The  KILL  command searches all output queues for jobs PRINTed
	by the calling user.  For each job found, information on it is
	displayed,  and  the user is asked if he/she wants to kill it.
	If 'YES' is entered, the job is deleted.  The BKILL command is
	identical, except it searches all BATCH queues.

	A job number or queue name can be specified to limit the queue
	searches.  Privileged users (OPER, WORLD, or GROUP) can delete
	other users' jobs.

	This is  an update of  the Spring 1986 delivery.   For further
	information, see KILL.DOC and KILL.HLP.



    XEROX 9700 LASER PRINTER UTILITIES
    ----------------------------------


	I have (but have not included here) a set of utilities to dump
	VAX files to tape for processing on XEROX 9700 laser printers.
	Write me for more information on these.



    NSWC1LIB.OLB
    ------------


	Object library used in building the above programs.  This lib-
	rary is built from LIB*.FOR and LIB*.MAR. Some of the routines
	may be useful to you;  they are documented by prologues in the
	sources.
