This directory contains executable images, shareable images, and 
command procedures necessary for VMSnet's operation.  

This directory must NOT be writable by the VMSnet user, and the 
files herein should be execute-only to the VMSnet user.  

DAILY_CLEANUP.COM	Submit this daily to do general cleanup chores.

GNUUCP.EXE		Implements the uucp 'g' protocol.  Places outgoing
			calls, accepts incoming calls, transfers files to
			and from neighbor systems on the net.  

GNUUCP_BATCH.COM	Have this run periodically to scan for work for
			neighboring systems and, possibly, to place calls
			to them to poll for work (in case they can't dial
			out).  SUBMIT with /USER=the VMSnet user.  

LCASEP.EXE		Utility used by MAKEPATHS.COM .

MAKEPATHS.COM		Invoke this to read map files and generate 
			[VMSNET.DATA]PATHS. , which is read by VN_MAILSHR
			to automatically produce routes for outgoing mail.

MFTU.EXE		Mail File Transfer Utility.  Takes *any* VMS file
			or set of files and encodes them into mailable form.
			Also used to unpack MFTU'd files.  Preserves all
			file attributes, even works on backup savesets, 
			indexed files, executable images, and so on.  
			Considerable space penalty (due to encoding of non-
			printable characters), so if you're just shipping
			text files, use VMS_SHARE.COM instead.  

PATHALIAS.EXE		Invoked by MAKEPATHS.COM .  The major player in the
			generation of the mailer-readable map file.  

PATHPROC.COM		Invoked by MAKEPATHS.COM .

SED.EXE			Utility used by MAKEPATHS.COM .

TARREAD.EXE		Programs to read and write Unix "tar" (tape archive)
TARWRITE.EXE		tapes.  Documentation is in [.DOC] .

UNSHAR.EXE		Utility to unpack "shar" (shell archive) text files
			received from Unix systems.  

UNSHARMAPS.COM		Command procedure to unpack maps received from 
			comp.mail.maps .  

UUXQT.EXE		Looks for and interprets "X" files (work files) 
			received from the remote system after a call to or 
			from that system is finished.  If work is found,
			spawns a subprocess running UUXQT_DCL.COM .  
			MUST BE INSTALLED WITH SETPRV PRIVILEGE.  

UUXQT_BATCH.COM		Command procedure submitted by GNUUCP.EXE upon 
			successful initiation of a call to or from a 
			neighbor system.  Invokes UUXQT.EXE .

UUXQT_DCL.COM		Invoked by UUXQT.EXE to deliver incoming uucp mail
			to users' VMSmail.  

VMSNET_LOGIN.COM	The LOGIN.COM for the VMSnet user.  If interactive,
			runs GNUUCP.EXE to accept an incoming call.  If in 
			batch mode, just exits (allowing submitted batch
			command procedure to run).  

VMSNET_SYSTARTUP.COM	Invoked from SYSTARTUP.COM .  EDIT THIS.  

VMS_SHARE.COM		Utility to combine multiple text files into a single
			file, with appropriate transformations to make the
			file immune to any munging done by known mailers. 
			The resulting file can be executed as a DCL command
			procedure to recreate the original files.  

VN_MAILSHR.EXE		Shareable image invoked by VMS MAIL when user sends 
			to VN%"address", where <address> can be a uucp-style
			or Internet-style address.  Writes files to the
			VMSnet spool directory.  Also invoked by the DCL
			command MAIL/PROTOCOL=VN to deliver incoming mail
			in such a way that the "From" address seen by VMSmail
			is REPLYable . 

			This image must be copied to SYS$SHARE and INSTALLed
			shareable.  The file must be world-readable.
