*******************************************************************************
		
adduaf.com      This command file  is used to create an account, disk quota
                and directory for a new user of the system. To use this
                command file you must pass it three parameters;
			
                        p1 = directory to be created
                        p2 = uic to be associated with this account
                        p3 = account information 

		For example to add a user named Zimmerman with uic of 100,3
		and account sales you would type:
                
		@adduaf zimmerman 100,3 sales

		This command file, as do all on this tape assume the users 
		directories are located on a device with the logical name
		user_disk: . The user who is added to the system with this
		file is given the default disk quota.



ascebc.for;1	This program converts an ascii file to an ebcdic file.
		The input file name should be assigned the logical name 'as'.
		The output file name should be assigned the logical name 'eb'.

ascebc.exe	This is the execution file for above program.


backupud.com	This command file is used to backup the user disk. In the
		process of doing this it allocates and mounts your tape,
                deletes map, lis and obj files and it purges the user_disk.
		It then does a full disk backup of the user disk.
		When it has finished the backup it creates a summary of the
		cpu usage by all users and generates a listing of disk useage 
                of all users with directories on the user_disk.
		The cpu useage report and the disk useage report are printed
		and stored in sys$sysroot:[sysmgr.useage].

blank.for	This program removes all trailing blank in a file.  It is
                very useful for compressing fortran file which have come
                to you from a card deck or cark image tape.  On such file
                much space is typically wasted by trailing blanks

blank.exe       This is the execution file for the above program.

cofiback.com	This command file copies selected files from a
		backup tape. To use it you must pass it the file name
		as a parameter.

columns.for	This command file identifies all lines in a fortran program
		greater than 80 character long.

columns.exe	This is the execution file for the above program.

daybackup.com	This command file backs up only those files created or
		modified from one day to the next by using the /since
		qualifier.  This command file does a disk to disk backup
		and stores the incrementally backed up file on the system disk
		in sys$sysroot:[sysmgr.backup] .  The backup save sets are
		named with the date they where created.  This command file
		send mail to the system manager indicating the sucess or
		failure of the incremental backup.  This command file
		submits itself to run at four o'clock the next morning
		when it completes it run.  The result is daily incremental
		backups with out operator intervention.  We have used
		this procedure for six months on our machine and it works
		very well.  It is nice to be able to be able to restore
		files that are accidently deleted by users from day to day.
		We delete all these daily incremental backup save sets each
		friday when we do a full user disk backup (see backupud.com).  
		To use this command file submit it once as follows:

			submit/after="tommorow+4:00" daybackup

		There after the file will resubmit itself and run each
		day at four in the morning.  Try this one you'll like it.


diff.com;3	Command file to run the differences dcl command with
                selected qualifers.   
                

ebcasc.for;2	This program converts ebcdic files to ascii files.
		Input file names should be assigned the logical name 'eb'.
		Output file names should be assigned the logical name 'as'.

edbasc.exe	This is the execution file for the above program.

edt.com		If you assign the symbol e to this file (see sylogin.com),
		then by typing e followed by a file name you will edit a
		file using the edt editor.  So what you ask, well the other
		thing which this command procedure does is remember the 
		last file which you edited using it.  Therefore by just 
		typing e with no file name following you will automatically
		be editing the last file which you edited.  This will work
		even if you logout.  The command procedure works by writting
		a name of the file in edtmemory.dat  For this procedure to 
		work you must have a file named edtini.edt in your login
		directory.  The file may be empty or contain edit initializer
		commands.  On our system this file as well as most of
		the other command procedures and programs listed here
		are stored in sys$sysroot:[sysmgr.util] and they are equated
		to symbols is sylogin.com.  See (sylogin.com included in
		this tape.)

ff.com		This command file puts a form feed every 22 lines in a file.
		This procedure allows you to use the page command in keypad 
		editor mode to look thru a file.

*******************************************************************************
		THE  TWO FILES BELOW, NOPRIV AND PRIV, SHOULD BE GIVEN 
		TO ONLY THOSE PERSONS WITH SETPRV PRIVILEDGES.  THE PRIV
		FILE WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU HAVE SYSPRV.
       
nopriv.com	This command file takes all priviledes away from a user except
		sysprv. 
priv.com	This command file gives a user all priviledges except setprv.

		I use these file for system management.  Normally I have
		only setprv and give myself the other priviledges when I
		need them.  They are use as foreign commands. In my login.com
		file I have the following statements:

		$	priv :== @sys$sysroot:[sysmgr]priv
		$	nopriv :== @sys$sysroot:[sysmgr]nopriv

sd.com		LIBRARIAN'S NOTE:  Placed in the [.SETDEF] structure.
