The following utilities were created at Battelle Memorial Institute - 
Columbus Division.  This software is distributed for the use of the
DECUS community.  Most of it is in use at our site.  However, there are
no warantees that any of it will work.  In particular, the PTY software
is has not been extensively tested.  Use at your own risk!

The directories in this contribution are:

	FILES - a program that can find files based on size and/or
	        ownership. This program contains bug fixes and
	        enhancements.

	ZDEC  - Zero-out Device Error Count, a program to zero
	        the device error counts without re-booting the
	        machine. This program contains a bug fix, so that
	        it will work properly in a system with virtual
	        terminals.

	BYDISK- A utility to iterate a DCL command over all processes
		on a system which have their default directory on a
		specified disk.  Included is a command procedure which
		performs a "SHUTDOWN" for the users of a specified disk
	        so the disk can be removed from service.

	KRON -	A utility to execute DCL commands at scheduled
		times.  Similar to the UNIX cron utility, except VMS-ified.

	PERMIT -A utility to add/remove a (IDENT=username,ACCESS=READ) ACL
		entry from a file.  Useful for niave users who don't want
		to battle the ACL syntax or ACL editor.  Also a useful
		example of manipulating ACL's in a program.

	PTY    -A pseudo-terminal driver for VAX/VMS.  This is a re-release
		of the version of my driver which Kevin Carosso modified fo
		VMS V4 (appeared on the Spring 1985 tape).  Some minor
		enhancements to the hangup logic.  Also a session logger
		program (PHOTO) with some minor bug fixes.

As this is the usual Friday at 17:00 tape submission, documentation may
be minimal.
