Abstract: This is a combined effort by the DATATRIEVE / Fourth
Generation Languages SIG to produce a library of items related
to or using DATATRIEVE, RALLY, or ACCENT-R
(** indicates new material for Fall 1989) 

   The directory structure has been changed from the previous
version because we now have more 4GL material.


[.ACCENT-R]  ** This contains two collections of ACCENT-R 'stuff',
                collected by Winston Tellis, the SIG's Accent-R
                User Group Liason.

[.DATATRIEVE]   Most of the previous collection, including 
                [.ALLIN1] ALL-IN-1 V2.0 to .2 definitions
             ** [.FUNCTIONS] DTR functions. New functions include
                   calling utilities like FDL and CONVERT, sending
                   MAIL directly, getting queue names, and others.
                [.MAGIC] some programs from Magic sessions
                [.PLOTS] extra DTR plots
                [.RECALL] program demonstrating DTR call interface
                [.RSX_ACCOUNTING] read accounting with DTR
                [.SYSMGR] VAX system management stuff with DTR

[.GENERAL]      Below this are sections which are of general interest:
                [.ACCOUNTING]  program to convert VMS Accounting records
                [.NEWSLETTERS] machine-readable copies of past newsletters
                [.SESSIONS]    transcripts of Symposia sessions.

[.RALLY]        We have two Rally examples here
                [.DATE_FORMATTING] 'universal' date format handler
                [.EXTERNAL_LINK]   how to call system functions
                                   particularly DCL / LIB$SPAWN.

[.SIXEL]        Don Stern's program to convert ReGIS to SIXEL 
                lets you print DTR or other graphs on LN03 and
                other DEC printers.


Changes and Improvements: ACCENT-R submission, more DTR functions.
