<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This Submission Supersedes ..... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Sub-Directories .DM$SD and WPE are complete replacements 
    for our previous submissions of programs DM, SD, and WPE.

This submission contains three sub-directories:

(1)  DM$SD - Contains both DM and SD. =========================================

DM Version 8.0A - A revision of the  Directory Management package, using SMG$
for windowing, with several changes necessary for VMS V5.0.

SD Version 5.0A - A revision of the Set Default program, entirely executable
(no .COM), with several changes necessary for VMS V5.0.

These are both updates of our Spring 88 submission.  Bug fixes, of course.
We consider these to be production programs.


(2)  WPE Version 5.0 =========================================================

A "complete" and extended implementation of WPS-PLUS (TM) for editing ASCII
files, including some Language Sensitive features for .COM files. Two-window
editing, the most useful features of EVE-PLUS, etc. Built on TPU and EVE, so
it's inherently extendable.  Full help and documentation. A finished version,
but added features are promised for the future.  Version 5.0 is for VMS V5.0. 
New features include a .CLD (Command Language Definition), and several other
improved/added functions.

DM, SD, and WPE work well together, or separately.


(3)  SHOWME Version 5.01 ======================================================

Everything you ever wanted to know in one easy program. SHOWME requires no
privileges, obtains it's information from the system running it (should require
no modification), and recognizes all currently-legal terminal types.  It uses
whatever "enhanced" characteristics are available on the users' terminal.  

The following information is presented (for example).

      E8DP2  <> 11/785  <> VMS 5.0-1
   VAXcluster node.   User COY at VT300 Series terminal TDA6 (VTA155)
   Wednesday, November 25, 1987  4:18 PM  <>  7 users, 4 batch jobs.

(*)  MAIN DIRECTORY ==========================================================

	ABSTRACT.DECUS		- Abstract for DECUS Tape VAX256.
	BINDER_LABEL.*		- Label for Documentation Binder.
	KEYSTRIP_LABELS.*	- Keystrip labels for WPE and DM.

                                 -----------

FULL documentation is provided for most of the programs, in .TXT, .WPL (for
WPS+), and .LN03 (Very fancy) forms.  Memory cartridges are required to print
the .LN03 files.  With this submission, the .LN03 documentation has been
provided in the popular 7 x 9 format.


Comments, suggestions, etc. are welcome.  Bug fix requests will also be
considered.

Supplemental information for some programs:
===============================================================================

                                    DM$SD

===============================================================================

                     DM (Directory Manager) Version 8.0A

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.  DM displays the files in your current directory (or your directory
tree).  With one or two keystrokes, you can do most major DCL commands:
delete, copy, purge, print, edit, view, rename, etc.

The keystrokes are All-in-1-like.  Your favorite editor may be used from
DM.  The SMG$ interface is used for terminal independence and efficiency.

DM Version 8.0 is designed to work with VMS V5.0, and corrects some minor
problems with previous versions when running with VMS V5.0.  VMS Version 4.5
(or above) is required.  The FORTRAN compiler is desirable for customization. 
May be user-modified to run with VMS 4.4 or earlier, if a FORTRAN compiler is
available.  (The packages have been tested with FORTRAN 5.0)

Significant Improvements have been made since our Spring 88 submission. 

==============================================================================

	 	SD (Set/Show Default) Version 5.0A

This is a revision to the SD Version 4.4A package which appeared in the Spring
88 VAX SIG Symposium tapes.  It provides enhancements to the older SD packages.
SD is a synonym for "Set Default", providing (in addition to less typing)
convenient movement between directories, a "stack" of directories, etc. 

SD is implemented in FORTRAN for speed, and uses the SMG$ screen interface.

Significant Improvements have been made since our Spring 88 submission. 

===============================================================================

                            WPE Editor Version 5.0

                            (WPS+ for ASCII Files)

                          Including the MORE utility

NOTE: WPE V5.0 is designed for VMS V5.0 - it will not work with VMS V4.x.
Differences between this version and previous versions of WPE are documented
in the file WPEV5_DIFF.TXT

WPE is a full (well, almost) implementation of WPS-PLUS (TM) for use on
ASCII files.  Its advantage is that the user who uses WPS+ has essentially
the same keyboard interface to WPE.

WPE is, in its own right, an extremely powerful text editor.  It is layered
on TPU and EVE, and is extendable.  It's easy to "get started", full on-line
help is provided, as well as extensive user documentation.

Features include: 
	All of WPS+ that was reasonable (full-function editing). 
	Two-window editing.
	Multiple files.
	Bookmarks.
	Insert and examine special characters.
	Print files with special characters.
	Fixup files by removing CR/LF
	Automatic tailoring for .COM, .HLP, .FOR, and .TPU files.
	Read-only interface (called MORE).
	Available EDT keypad.
	Can be used as a MAIL editor.

WPE works efficiently with DM (also in this submission).  Instructions are
provided on how to use WPE as your VMS Mail editor.
