	This software is made available to the public with no warranties,
	guarantees, or liability for its use or any consequences thereof.
	After all, it's free.  However, I wouldn't submit it if I didn't think
	it worked correctly.  And the code written at our site tends to be
	well-structured, efficient, clean, and debugged.

CLOSE_VMS_ACCT.COM

	We use this command procedure to close our VMS accounting files every 
	month.  This facilitates usage analysis and archiving of accounting data
	by month.  Nothing fancy, but if you don't have it, here it is.

CONCATENATE_SIXEL.COB
CONCATENATE_SIXEL.EXE

	This is a new program this year.  It concatenates SIXEL graphs
	side-by-side.

COUNTREC.EXE

	Count number of records in a file. COUNT_RECORDS.COM allows use with
	wildcarded files.

DIALUPINI.EXE

	Reset Hayes compatible modems at start to quiet state to avoid
	undesirable interactions with LOGINOUT.

DROIDS.EXE

	This game lets you get chased by robots on a 24x40 field.

ENPAGE.EXE

	Reformat documents for LN03; adjust margins, pitch, etc.

FORCEX.EXE

	Force an image to exit in another process. Generally cleaner than
	STOP/ID and leaves the victim process alive.

INIT_DIALUPS.COM

	Reset modems once an hour to a default condition.

LOCK_TERMINAL.EXE

	This is a simple program that accepts and verifies a password, then
	locks your terminal until you type the password again.

REMINDPRT.EXE

	Are you using the REMINDER utility that has been on recent DECUS tapes?
	We are, and we needed more flexibility in printing out reminders, so we
	wrote a program to print simple calendars from the reminder file.  No
	REMINDER user should be without it.  Output goes to CI$OUTPUT.

REMRESCHD.EXE

	One of the annoying things about REMINDER is that it deletes old
	reminders automatically, even if you never got to see it.  Well, every
	night right after midnight I run REMRESCHD.EXE to reschedule old
	reminders up to today.  That way REMINDER becomes a to-do list that
	won't let me forget a reminder unless I explicitly delete it.

SHUT_LOGS.COM

	We use this command procedure to close our OPERATOR.LOG file nightly and
	open a new one.

SYSTATUS.EXE

	Here's SYSTATUS version 5.0!  It's a somewhat flexible system status
	monitor.

	Changes since version 4.7 (on the Fall '87 DECUS tape):

		The highest MAXPROCESSCNT that SYSTATUS can handle has been
		raised to 2048.

		The user interface has been upgraded substantially!

		New info about process jobtype, master/subprocess, and
		active/dormant characteristics.  Also, the ability to
		selectively include or omit processes based on these
		characteristics.

VMSDOWN.COM
VMSDOWNUP.COM

	Command files to take VMS down and back up; run from batch and
	released by operators (so operators don't need the privs in THEIR
	accounts to shut down VMS).
