THREE ENVIRONMENTS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED.  ALL 3 ENVIRONMENTS
	ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING UNDER VMS 4.7, AND HAVE NOT BEEN
	TESTED AGAINST ANY VMS 5.X OPERATING SYSTEM.

	LABSTAR:	AN ILLUSTRATION AND PRATICAL APPLICATION
			OF THE LABSTAR PROGRAMMING INTERFACE.
			AN ATTEMPT TO DO WHAT DEC SHOULD HAVE DONE
			IN PROVIDING A USER FRIENDLY CALLABLE
			ENVIRONMENT.  AT LEAST IT IS A START.

	TELEMAIL:	THIS WILL BE THE LAST UPDATE OF THIS
			SERIES OF ROUTINES.  I HAVE NOT DONE
			ANY MAJOR MODIFICATIONS, HOWEVER I HAVE
			FIXED A FEW BUGS THAT HAVE CROPPED UP
			OVER THE LAST 1-1/2 YEARS SINCE I LAST
			PUBLISHED THIS SOFTWARE.  I SHOULD NOTE
			THAT THERE IS STILL A KNOWN BUG IN THE
			TELEBULB ROUTINES (TELEMAIL BULLETIN
			BOARD READ PROGRAM).  IT INVOLVLES THE
			FACT THAT IF A BULLETIN BOARD IS DELETED
			FROM THE TELEMAIL SYSTEM, THEN THE PROGRAM
			WILL THEN READ THE USERS MAIL INSTEAD OF
			ABORTING.  I DON'T INTEND TO FIX THIS.
			ALSO, LONG BULLETINS TEND TO CAUSE PROBLEMS
			AND NOT ALL BULLETINS ARE READ WHEN THIS
			2ND SITUATION ARISES.

	LIFENET:	THIS IS A PROJECT WHICH I PROVIDED SOME
			PROGRAMS FROM LAST YEAR (MAY 88).  THERE
			IS A MUCH IMPROVED MAIL PROGRAM INTERFACE.
			A SHARABLE EXECUTABLE WHICH PROVIDES A 
			CALLABLE INTERFACE FOR VMS 4.X MAIL.
			(READ ONLY, BUT BETTER THAN DEC PROVIDED!)
			A CALENDAR OF EVENTS PROGRAM.  AND A PROGRAM
			FOR ALLOWING USERS TO MOVE FILES BETWEEN
			THEMSELVES WITHOUT NEEDING WORLD WRITE
			PRIVILEGE IN THE DESTINATION DIRECTORY.


	I HOPE THAT THESE ROUTINES ARE OF USE TO SOMEONE OUT THERE.
	CERTAINLY THEY SHOULD AT LEAST PROVIDE IDEAS OF WHAT THE
	VMS SYSTEM IS CAPABLE OF PERFORMING, AND MAYBE VISIONS OF
	THE FUTURE POSSIBILITIES.

	AS A SYSTEM MANAGER, I AM FAIRLY IMPRESSED WITH THE SIMPLICITY
	OF THE MAIL CALLABLE INTERFACE PROVIDED, AND BEGIN TO WONDER
	WHY DEC NEVER PROVIDED SUCH AN ALGORITHM THEMSELVES.  THINK
	OF THE POSSIBILITIES OF AUTOMATIC MANAGEMENT ROUTINES BASED
	UPON MAIL INTERFACES.
