Note:  These programs are at least rudimentarily debugged,
	however errors may still exist in pïrtions of the code.  I
	do not get paid to support or write code and as such will 
	accept no phone calls regarding this software.  If yïu
	locate any bugs you may write the following address:

	Upon acceptance of this software it is assumed that these tools
	will be used in a non-profit personal use fashion.
	NOTE: THESE PROGRAMS TYPICALLY RUN IN KERNEL MODE AND RUN
	WITH THE ASSOCIATED RISKS.

	Description of tools:

	ADDRESS_TRANSLATION.MAR;16:	This program will perform address
	translation on any P0/P1/S0 space address entered in the context
	of the process designated (To the degree possible).  This code is
	undocumented (see dallas session notes for documente version)

	DEADPT.MAR;3:	This program lists the dead page table scans
	that have occured on the system since the last boot.  It runs in
	user mode and as such will not cause any crashes.

	DEALO.MAR;3:	This program deallocates a device allocated to 
	another user.
	DUMP_BLOCK_COUNTS.MAR;27/LOAD_BLOCK_COUNTER.MAR;18/
	UNLOAD_BLOCK_COUNTER.MAR;6:	These programs may be used to 
	obtain counts of reads/writes/size of reads/size of writes/
	paging ios/swapping ios/split ios to a given spindle.  
	LOAD_BLOCK_COUNTER is run to monitor the disks (it only handles 
	one disk at a time).  DUMP_BLOCK_COUNTS spills out all of the 
	information logged since the counter was loaded.  UNLOAD_BLOCK_COUNTER
	cleans up the pool and restores the start io entry point of
	the driver.
	
	SHOW_PROC_FILES.MAR;39/FIDTONAME.MAR;34/SPILL_FILE_INFO.MAR;24
	SHOW_PROC_FILES.mar will locate and display all open files
	by a given process, including the number of reads and writes
	since the file was opened, the number of mapping pointers in the
	file.  FIdTONAME converts the file id to file name.  
	SPILL_FILE_INFO displays the info.  These modules should
	be linked together.  I do not believe that this will work
	on volume sets.

	GET_HIT.MAR;5:	This is a subroutine when linked with a program
	will return the global buffer hit and miss rates on any file
	with a rab address passed as input.  (see INDEX.FOR as an 
	example of calling this routine.

	PFM.MAR;6/PFMFILWRT.MAR;9/PFM_FORMAT.MAR;8
	PFMFILWRT.EXE should be copied into sys$system:.  PFM is linked
	in with any program and will enable pagefault monitoring.
	PFM_FORMAT will format the output.  This is a fairly simplistic
	implementation and may require extensive modification.

	SHOWBASE.MAR;26:	This program will show the base
	virtual addresses of all shareable images as well as the main line
	program, while a process is running the linked image.

	SHOW_SHARE.MAR;14;	This program wil show the number of
	pages actually being shared in a given set of global sections
	with a section name of "name_".

	WSBLASTER.MAR;5:	This program will purge another
	processes working set.

	FAULT.FOR;38:	A simple exercise with ASTs.

	PERF.C;8:	A c program to display performance stats.
	Link as follows:

	$link perf,sys$system:sys.stb,sys$input/opt
	vaxcrtl/share
	^z
