This directory contains the actual source, object, executable, and data files
that were referenced at the DECUS 1992 Spring Symposium held at Atlanta, GA
during the "VA126 - Optimize LOGIN Time and Resources" session.

Defining a large number of symbols and logical names in your SYS$LOGIN:LOGIN.COM
file may cause all of your logins to take quite a while to execute.

This program allows you to replace almost all of your LOGIN.COM definitions and
other functions by simply executing one image (LOGIN.EXE).  When executed, the
LOGIN.EXE program reads all of your desired definitions from your
SYS$LOGIN:LOGIN.DAT file and creates the same symbols and logicals names, as
well as some other functions.  Complete detailed instructions on how to do this
are contained in the sample LOGIN.DAT file.

List of contained files:
  AAAREADME.TXT		This file
  LOGIN.BAS		VAX BASIC source code for the LOGIN.EXE program
  LOGIN.COM		Sample LOGIN.COM file which is used to execute LOGIN.EXE
  LOGIN.DAT		Sample data file which is read by the LOGIN.EXE program
  LOGIN.EXE		Linked version of LOGIN.OBJ
  LOGIN.OBJ		Compiled version of LOGIN.BAS

You should not need to recompile or relink the executable unless you need to
change the features of the program.  VAX BASIC V3.n or higher is required to
compile this program.  This program has been tested on VMS V5.3 and V5.4
