ETHERMON is a software implementation of an Ethernet line activity 
monitor. It uses any VAX/VMS DEC-compatible Ethernet interface to 
collect the data, and reports statistics in a form similar to the VMS 
MONITOR utility. It also can collect Ethernet data for post-processing 
by a user-supplied offline program (sample programs are supplied). ETHERMON 
can determine symbolic identifications of remote nodes automatically, or 
have them defined manually; these symbolic identifications are used 
in ETHERMON's displays and reports. ETHERMON can also recognize equipment 
other than DEC's on the Ethernet.

ETHERMON.COM is the build file; the documentation is stored in the files
ETHERMON.PS (PostScript), ETHERMON.LN0 (DEC LN03), ETHERMON.LPT ("dumb"
line printer or plain-text), and ETHERMON.MSS (Scribe manuscript source).
The on-line help library ETHERMON.HLB must be in the same directory as 
ETHERMON.EXE when executing the program in order for the built-in HELP 
command to work.

ETHERMON's executable can be run either by a foreign command definition 
or a DCL RUN command. The unsupported utilities are to be invoked by RUN 
command only (they do not check the command line for their parameters).

These files were compiled and linked using VAX FORTRAN V5.3 and VAX/VMS 
V5.5.

  The version of ETHERMON here is a beta version only. While it generally
appears to work, be aware it is beta code and may have problems. A non
beta version will be released later.
