          Please note that due to time constraints, these submissions  have
     not been gone over and modified to make them suitable for general site
     usage.  Some can be used as is, the ones that  should  be  looked  for
     site specific problems at will be flagged with an '*'.  It is expected
     that a  more  complete  package  of  general  use  utilities  will  be
     completed for the next DECUS tape.

          A brief overview of the directories:

     1.  BATCH.COM

              An interactive Batch job submitting procedure, very handy for
         setting  up  one-shot batch jobs, does a lot of handy work for the
         interactive user, such as setting default  to  current  directory,
         etc...

     2.  BUILD.FOR, BUILD.DOC

              A utility to append a bunch of files together while inserting
         a separating card between them, usefull for Fortran routines going
         to a foreign machine.

     3.  BURST.FOR, BURST.DOC

              Companion of above utility, breaks BUILT files apart.

     4.  *DISKMONIT.COM

              Command  file  space  monitor,  Sends   increassingly   nasty
         messages  to all users if the space gets below several thresholds.
         Set up to check DBA0 right now.

     5.  *DISKSPACE.COM, *UIC.EXE

              Simple command/fortran utility to sum up disk space usage  on
         drives with Quotas running, gives a nice output with sub-totals by
         account group.  Now checks DBA0,1,DRC0,1.
                                                                          Page 2


     6.  DISKUSE.DOC, DISKUSE.MAR

              VERY handy addition to the DEC quota enforcement stuff,  uses
         several  tricks to integrate the DISKQUOTA stuff with a reasonable
         approach to the problem from a real life site.

     7.  EDT.COM, ICEDOWN.FOR, ICEUP.FOR, INIT.EDT, SYSTARTUP.EDT

              Command file to invoke EDT editor, uses two installed  images
         to change the prio.  of the running EDT job up and then back down.

     8.  VT100.COM, VT52.COM, ESC.COM

              Sets your terminal to a VT100, or VT52.  ESC.COM used by  the
         others.

     9.  *MT.FOR

              Tells you who has the tape drive allocated if anybody,  right
         now it looks for MTA0.

    10.  SD.COM

              Yet another Set Default command procedure, this one has  some
         nice features such as automatic set-back, etc.

    11.  STRUCTURE.FOR, STRUCTURE.DOC

              Fortran structure finder, feed it a bunch  of  routines,  and
         out comes a indented Call structure listing.

    12.  SUBDELTA.COM

              Allows a batch job to be submitted after some delta  time  of
         days,  used for system stuff that wants to run every seven days or
         something.

    13.  TERMTYPE.FOR

              Interogates the terminal to find out what it is ant then sets
         a  symbol  that  can  be  checked  by  DCL  to do different things
         depending on HARDCOPY or SCOPE

    14.  TOOLS.HLP

              UNIX like tools help file reformatted to a VMS help file.

    15.  *VAXNETOFF.COM, *VAXNETON.COM

              Command files to get users on and off of VAXNET smoothly,  we
         run AUTOBAUD and several outgoing lines, so this is very handy for
         selecting outgoing modems, etc.

    16.  XDIR.COM, XDIR.DOC

              Generates Crossref file for various usefull purposes.
