programs are:

        NEWS     A general news utility that runs when users login and
                 gives them a brief listing of all unread news. When the 
                 user reads the news in full, the login message is removed
                 for that user. A nice alternative to a lengthy SYS$WELCOME
                 file. The program must be installed with SYSPRV and SYSLCK

	CD	 A fast unix(tm) like chdir written entirely in fortran
		 (no dcl)

	FINGER   a utility to finger a user in sysuaf...safe enough to
	 	 be installed with SYSPRV. Tells you more if you have OPER

	GMAIL    A general purpose public bulletin board facility.

	KILL	 a rewritten version of an earlier submission which
		 now uses CLDs, error definitions and has force image exit opt.

	NETCOPY  A preprocessor for copy which uses getjpi to get a username
		 and inquires for the password separately(noecho)...
		 (The username can still be specified explicitly)

	NETUSERS a graphic program which (on a GIGI or VT-125) will
		 display in colered bar graph form the user and batch job
		 counts on up to 5 decnet nodes.

	NODESHOW a utility which will allow users to look at other DECNET
		 nodes without actually logging on to them.

	WHERE    The result of playing with SYS$FAO...gives a 2 line
		 summary of the local system load and shows where and
		 who you are...(handy for login.coms)
