The following are a list of subdirectories and a short description of
what is contained in each.  Some changes may be required due to the 
location of files and related routines (obviously).  Hopefully any of 
these can be done with the least amount of effort.  All higher level 
programs are documented internally to help any user that may want to 
modify any of the code.  If a user does modify any code so that it works 
better I would appreciate a copy.  All work with any version of VMS (as 
far as I know, unless stated otherwise).


[.CONFIRM]     - Utility to keep that pain in the rear from saying that they
                 did not get some important message.  Some new qualifiers
                 have been added to confirm to allow messages to become
                 reminders at times.  Also fixed a security hole in the
                 program.  Also not as stringent to file names.

[.LIST]        - A username phone list that allows user modification.
                 The new version of LIST is version 2.0-A.  There was a bug
                 when adding a username that matched up with the beginning
                 of a longer username.  Also some input modifications.

[.NEURAL_NET]  - A toy neural network that uses backpropagation to learn
                 the exclusive or (XOR).  Also some research documents.

[.SHOWCUSERS]  - A modification of an earlier DECUS release.

[.USERCOUNT]   - A DCL command procedure used in identifying a user's 
                 "other" interactive processes across the cluster.  A rewrite
                 of previous program.

[.VERSION]     - A utility that displays the current version of software
                 whether it be personal files, layered products or the 
                 version of the operating system (NOT THE FILE NAME 
                 VERSION).  This does not require the SYSTEM MANAGER to 
                 update any files.  There have been a few internal mods
                 to the previous version of VERSION.  I think you will really 
                 like this one.

I have other projects that I had hoped to include in this submission, however,
time has been limited around here in the past year.  Hopefully I can get those
out next time.
