     1. MIRACLE MESSAGE PROGRAM
     --------------------------


	Prints specified text  in  large  letters  (capitals  are  2.7
	inches tall), four rows at a time, vertically 'down the page'.
	Spacing  is  proportional;  characters  are even overlapped to 
	equalize white space (e.g. the '4' in '74' is tucked under the
	'7').  Vertical and Italic Roman  fonts  are  available.   For 
	proper  proportions, the printer must be set to print at eight
	lines per inch.  Additional formats  are  available  on  LA120 
	DECwriters.

     2. MONITOR.COM
     --------------


	Simplifies running of the DCL MONITOR command. Provides a menu
	display and simplified invocation of the various MONITOR  dis-
	plays.   Contains  screen-formatting escape sequences specific
	to VT100-compatible terminals. The procedure's default MONITOR
	display (currently PROCESSES/TOPCPU) can be changed, if desir-
	ed.  This originally came from DEC Educational Services, Wash-
	ington, D.C.

	Suggested usage:

		$ MON*ITOR == "@[VAX83A.NSWC]MONITOR"   ! in LOGIN.COM

		$ MON					! to use it
