VAX KMSKIT V4.2

	This submission is an update to V4.1 KMSKIT on the Spring 1985 
Symposium tape.  Only files changed since then will be included.  Reasons 
for change include, A) Cluster compatibility, B) bug fixes, C) improvements,
D) inability to leave well enough alone.

	Included in this submission are the subdirectories.

[KMSKIT.SYSMGR]  - Useful V4.2 command procedures for controling the system
                   and making life generally easier for all.  Many updates 
                   and changes since last release.  Powerfail monitor.
                   Automatic login notification for operators if the system
		   is having hardware problems.  Easy way to switch between
		   configurations from one boot to the next.  Incremental
		   restore procedure than works with the incremental backup
		   procedure.  A very powerful improved set of procedures
		   for establishing an operator account.  Procedure for 
		   implementing dual passwords for dial-in users. Procedure
		   for setting up a terminal as the right type at login
		   (even if VMS does not yet support it).  Privileged command
		   procedure catcher.  Procedures for using a using a port 
		   multiplexer to stretch you existing ports.

[KMSKIT.SYSUTL]  - Useful things. All V4.x compatible
                   a) VAX CALC update which has online help.  
		   b) Improved auto-logoff facility, 
		   c) SETMODEM to enable DMF lines 0 and 1 to be used 
		      with 4 wire cables.  
		   d) An improved (albeit, slightly considering the work
		      which originally went into it) version of AVATU.
		   e) TEKGRAPH, A program which creates graphs on VT125's,4014's
		      and VT24x terminals.  Bug fixed, features added.
		      Hardcopy command works for VT240.
		   f) A modified version of TVG which knows about our 
		      4014 terminals (/DEV=FT1) and our VT240 terminals.  
		      This is probably not R. Grandle's current version, 
		      but it is used by VPW.
		   g) Power fail catcher

[KMSKIT.TVG]     - TVG sources as adapted for VT240s.  Not, however, the 
		   "official" version.  


[KMSKIT.LSETPU]    DCL Windows for LSE/TPU.  Neat conversion procedures to
		   let you view escape sequences in text files.  I did not
		   write this, DEC did.  Very good example of writing
 		   a big procedure.

[KMSKIT.VPW]     - V4.2 of the VAX Professional Workstation.  
		   Not quite ALL-IN-ONE,  but close, very close, 
		   (and getting closer) and Oh, so much cheaper !!
		   including WINDOWS with typeahead!  VPW V4.2 is
		   MUCH FASTER, very modular, uses logical names and is so easy
		   to reconfigure.  Some changes were required from last
		   release to make everything work on V4.2 in a Cluster.  
		   MASS11 word processing support.  

		   Included with this release is 
		   a) GraphMaster, an interactive procedure for
                      graphics (graphs, slides, etc).  Graphs may
		      be generated either with DECgraph, TEKgraph,
		      or DTR (on VT125's or VT24x's).  Support for
		      curvfitting, and some graphics data file transformations.
		   b) Support for VT240 graphics.
		   c) A new version of NOTEBOOK which which can edit
		      (like a spread sheet calculator) our type 1
		      X-Y graphics data files (used by TEKgraph).
		      More flexible command line interface,  handling
		      of VT240 terminals, etc.
		   d) Procedures support VT2xx terminals.
		   e) Procedures support FULL editing windows (with a 
		      window banner that stays and stays and stays.....)
		      and which supports typeahead.
		   f) A new version of EDT (VPWEDIT)which supports WINDOWS
		      (again with a full editing screen and a banner
		      that stays....) and a clipboard and INSTANT system
		      level help from within the editing session.  
		   g) A version of EDT to use for browsing files.
		   h) A "rubber band" menu dispatcher (the VAX Toolbox)
		   I) A VAX Problem Reporter (an automated internal
		      SPR system).
		   j) VAX DTC (Date Book Calendar).  Replaces DATEBOOK.
		      You have to see it to believe it.  All RSX bugs fixed.
		      Context sensitive help!, Display wierdness's fixed.
		      Print and Purge commands.  Integrated with VPW.
		   k) Privileged command procedure dispatcher.
		   L) LN03 Support for Word processing including
			a) SYSDEVCTL.TLB control files to change font size
			b) Utility to allow RUNOFF bolded and underlined
			   text to be printed properly on the LN03.
		   M) Support for the VASSAR spelling checker (better
		      than Dennison version but the choice is yours).
		   N) MASS11 support.  A great MASS11 start up procedure.
		   0) Support for caputring a VT240 screen to a sixel file.
		

Please, note that the procedures, programs etc, may assume site dependent
information not applicable to all sites.  Command procedures may have to
be modified to work to reflect the correct location of files.  Some
command procedures assume the existance of certain files or executable
images (generally, but not always, available from DECUS tapes).  I 
appologize for not having something which goes in as easy as a VMS Update kit.

As always, complaints, suggestions, or praise (preferably the latter)
may be directed to:
