The KRONOS system provides an environment for scheduling the submission of
batch jobs that is easier and more functional than the SUBMIT/AFTER command. A
detached process is created which wakes up every hour to check a data base for
jobs that should be run.  Jobs may be scheduled to run at a given time, on a
given day of the week, on a given day of the month, on a given week day of the
month, on a given day from the end of the month, every day, or every hour. Jobs
can be run based on the value of system logicals and system service item codes. 
A user-friendly interface program is provided to maintain the data base.  A
variety of useful example jobs are provided to demonstrate the use of KRONOS;
included are Sytem Management, Security, and Performance Monitoring jobs.

Complete sources are included.  Documentation on magnetic media.

Changes since last release:  Changed data base from table-oriented to command-
oriented.  Added internal access to system services.  Made more efficient.
