FTS, Utilities, do-everything utility for monitoring and controlling VMS

The Functional Testing Suite (FTS) is a do-everything utility for
monitoring and controlling a VMS system.  The philosophy here is that
everytime I want to do something under VMS, and there's no command
to do it, I'll write it myself and add it to FTS.  It started out as
a monitor for images which I didn't have source code for (like UCX
applications) and grew into a sort of grab-bag of hacks.

FTS is generally distributed in VMS_SHARE format.  To unpack the source
code, execute (via DCL) the distribution file (eg. $ @FTS012.SHAR).
To build the FTS executable, us the command "$ @MAKE".  The only
file required to actually use FTS is FTS.EXE which should be installed
as a foreign command (ie. "$ FTS :== $disk:[dir]FTS.EXE").  If anyone
out there wants to put together a VMS help file, god bless them.
The currently supported help system is the source code, especially
the file FTS_PARSE.CLD.

I have compiled FTS 1.2 under VMS versions V5.1-1, V5.5-2, and FT6.0.
(Without problems)

WARNING!!!  FTS is an rather brutish program which may very well do nasty
things to your system, least of all crash it.  Don't use this program
unless you think you know what you're doing!  Consider yourself warned.
