		B.	[.games]
		a collection of game programs previously released by
		Decus, included here for completness
		they contain their own menu system (see [.menu_fortran])

		NOTE: this directory has been compressed and moved to 
		[VAX87B.GAMES.BASSETT].
		Note also that the only thing new in this structure is the
		menu system and command procedures for accessing the games.  
		A lot of the games in this collection go back to the Spring 
		1979 VAX tape, including SCRABBLE which I have never been 
		able to get to work.  If anybody has a working SCRABBLE I 
		would like a copy. - Joe Bingham

		C.	[.golf]
		a pretty neat golf handicap/information system
		originally written in fall 1984 as an exercise in using
		the then new Vax Rdb/Vms product

		NOTE: this directory has also been compressed and moved to 
		[VAX87B.GAMES.BASSETT].

		$delprc system services

		G.	[.news]
		our slightly modified version of the decus news programs

		program

		H.	[.reminder]
		our slightly modified version from the decus VPW programs
		for use outside of VPW, program has been modified to
		reflect sysuaf.dat file changes of Vms V4

		I.	[.users ]
		yes another show users program, this one written in cobol

		J.	[.watchdog]
		our modified version of the decus standard watchdog program
		this one checks to see if user is in an image then
		does a $forcex system service if in an image
		or   a $delprc system service if not in an image (at dcl)
		this sure helps if you have some sort of transaction
		journaling in your applications
