          This is the second submission from Western  Kentucky  University.
     All  of  the  programs  for  this  submission  were  written by Hunter
     Goatley, except the [.COMPILE] directory,  which  contains  a  program
     written by James Wagoner, another student programmer here at WKU.

          Most programs in this submission are updates and revised versions
     of  other  programs.   The  programs here are still being modified and
     updated;  most  of  the  work  was  done  over  the  summer  of  1986.
     Modifications and extensions to the programs came only when I had some
     spare time.  I think most of the programs are fairly  well  documented
     in the source files for each.


                                The Directories


      >  [.COMPILE] -- The Spring tape's COMPILE.COM is now a program  that
         will  create  a  command procedure to compile, link, and execute a
         program in any VAX language!  Submitted by James Wagoner.


      >  [.MAILSTUFF]-- Various  programs  that  supplement  the  VMS  MAIL
         facility,  including  MAILCHK,  which will tell you if someone has
         read a message you sent.  Updates for VMS v4.4!


      >  [.SAVE] -- Programs to save symbols and logicals from  session  to
         session!


      >  [.VARIOUS] -- Programs to replace TABs with blanks and vise versa,
         VAXLINK  (a program from The VAX Professional that I have modified
         and made better), a Z29 terminal screen saver, and a subroutine to
         emulate the UNIX shell's method of replacing *.* on a command line
         with filenames!  Also, a new, all-MACRO SWAP!!  Better than ever!


      >  [.WKUMON]  --  A  process  monitor  program  written  in  MACRO32.
         Updated with several neat, new features!
                                                                          Page 2


     All of the programs  are  written  in  either  DCL,  VAX-11  PL/1,  or
     MACRO32.   Not  all  of  the  programs  will necessarily work with all
     versions of VMS -- we are running VAX/VMS v4.4 and all  WILL  work  on
     that.  .EXE files have been included with the sources.


     I'm extremely interested in hearing what you think of  these  programs
     and   would   greatly  appreciate  any  comments  or  suggestions  for
     improvements.
