	 	DM (Directory Manager) Version 6.7A

	This is a revision to the DM (directory management) package
which has appeared on previous VAX SIG Symposium tapes.  It provides
enhancements to the older DM packages.

     	Directory Manager was initially submitted in January 1983 by 
John C. Hayre, Texas Instruments (later with Veeco Integrated 
Automation, Dallas).  Additional extensive improvements and 
submissions were made by Rich Gregory, Pharmaceutical Research 
Associates, Charlottesville, VA.

     	This version (now called Version 6.7A) was spun-off in 1986
by Dale E. Coy, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM.
It incorporates the functions added by Rich Gregory (except for Fortran
and Basic), improves efficiency, and adds major functions:

	1.  In addition to the original commands, an All-in-1-like set of
commands is provided, which will use VT2xx keys if available.
	2.  Copy (in and out) and Delete have been improved.
	3.  The user may choose his/her favorite editor, "viewer", and 
printer, and may change them "on the fly".
	4.  Rooted directories are handled properly, and the user may 
change Devices from within DM.
	5.  Full documentation (for user, installer, and programmer) is
provided in both Text and WPS+ formats.
	6.  SMG$ is now used for the user interface (windowing, etc.)
	7.  The subprocess is "retained" for multiple uses, rather than
being exited after each use (example of technique).
	8.  An AST is used to handle process exits.
