[VAX85A.NSWC]AAAREADME.TXT



    KILL AND BKILL COMMANDS
    -----------------------


	The  KILL  command searches all output queues for jobs PRINTed
	by the calling user.  For each job found, information on it is
	displayed,  and  the user is asked if he/she wants to kill it.
	If 'YES' is entered, the job is deleted.  The BKILL command is
	identical, except it searches all BATCH queues.

	A job number or queue name can be specified to limit the queue
	searches.  Privileged users (OPER, WORLD, or GROUP) can delete
	other users' jobs.

	For further information, see KILL.DOC and KILL.HLP.



    SD COMMAND
    ----------


	Yes, yet still another Set/Show Directory  command.   This one
	uses  the  VT100  line-drawing  set to draw a tree showing the
	subdirectory structure within the current default,  and allows
	you to use  EDT-like  keypad commands  to manipulate this dis-
	play.  For a quick example, enter:

		$ SET DEFAULT [VAX85A]

		$ @[VAX85A.NSWC]SD *

	This version of SD is mostly implemented via a FORTRAN program
	instead of DCL commands, and runs faster (on our VAX, anyway).

	For further information, see SD.DOC.



    LET COMMAND
    -----------


	LET is a shorthand way of doing DEFINEs or ASSIGNs in the same
	way that SD is a shorthand way of doing SET DEFAULTs.  See the
	LET.HLP file for examples.  Examine BLDLET.COM for information
	on the installation of the command.   Also see SD.DOC for rel-
	ated information.  LET and SD are closely related.



    REMINDER UTILITY
    ----------------


	This is yet another  appointment-reminding utility.   This one
	reminds you when you log in, and 'tickles' you at fixed inter-
	vals as the time  of an appointment approaches.   The reminder
	message  tells  you  when  the appointment is, and what it is.
	The message is formatted in reverse video for VT100+ terminals
	and the bell rings.   It is very easy to add, remove, and show
	appointments.   For  further  information,  see  REMINDER.HLP.
	See REMINDERS.DOC for installation instructions.  This utility
	uses a detached process (which is usually hibernating) to send
	the 'tickler' messages. Use BLDREMIND.COM to rebuild the pack-
	age from its sources.



    NSWC1LIB.OLB
    -------------


	Object library used in building the above programs.  This lib-
	rary is built from LIB1.FOR and LIB*.MAR. Some of the routines
	may be useful to you;  they are documented by prologues in the
	sources.



    SMG.DAT
    -------


	This contains a twelve-page summary of the VAX/VMS Screen Man-
	agement  (SMG$)  Routines, condensed from the 207 pages in the
	VAX/VMS V4.0 Run-Time Library Routines Reference Manual.  This
	to me is easier to use than the manual or HELP.  You can print
	it and/or have the file handy to  INCLUDE  in your EDT session
	to use the editor's search commands to quickly find things. To
	save space,  the 'SMG$' prefix was dropped from routine names.
	Page numbers reference the V4.0 RTL Reference Manual.
