The Merrimack College submission to the Fall '87 SIG tape contains:

[.HACKS]

Miscellaneous hacks

BATCH

Command procedure and associated help file that writes simple
batches interactively. Good for introducing the braindead 
to batch jobs.

GRANTALL/REVOKEALL

Two lame, buggy command procedures that somewhat(disclaimer,
disclaimer, disclaimer) provide for transparent directory access by
>=two accounts. Developed for faculty too lazy to read up on VMS protection.

CHECKMAIL

Hack to check mail (obviously). Runs mail if you have newmail, else it
quits. Some find this usefull for LOGIN.COMs, checking for newmail if
broadcast is disabled, and for checking mail upon connecting to a process.


[.INTRO]

This directory contains a couple of things that can let you the
unprivileged user poke around the system. The nefarious among us copy
.com files containing these things into the default DECnet account of
machines run by hostile system managers and execute them as DECnet tasks.
Great fun can be had by doing this and then mailing a message to the
system manager suggesting ways to tune the system. |-)


[.LATHACK]

This directory contains code that shows you how to decipher what
the physical location of a LAT terminal is.


[.PANDORA]

It is essentially a collection of many different procedures gleaned from many
different DECUS Library tapes by many different authors, too numerous to
mention (though often referred to in comments here and there).  (Suffice it to
say I gleefully acknowledge their rights to authorship and appreciate it
greatly, especially).


Description
-----------
The commenting of the source code is perhaps a bit wifty at times; apologies to
those concerned, but all is still in testing stages and I tend to change lines
at whim.  I submit this more as an example than as a "better" editor; you are
strongly urged to customize the system to fit your own needs.


[.TAIL]

Tail simply dumps the last 1K of a file to sys$output.
