This save set of DECps (aka Polycenter Performance Solution) reporting routines
were developed in an evolutionary manner beginning with VPA 2.1 and updated
through DECps 1.1 (field test 2 version).

The saveset is designed to create the required directory structure as unloaded
with your DECps PSDC$DATABASE directory as the root :

Files for tape were extracted from the saveset. Therefore, 
to use this area, copy the files to the desired root and create the
subdirectories [.com], [.reports], and [.log]. The material here
goes in the [.com] subdirectory.

		PSDC$ROOT = device:[psdc$database.]

		PSDC$ROOT:[COM]
			 :[REPORTS]
			 :[LOG]

The principal goal of these routines is to provide a generalized set of code
for producing the desired DECps graphs in a single pass of the data in three
different formats (Postscript (pattern), Postscript (color), Tabular) with as
few redundant lines of code as possible.

They are not the "be-all and end-all" approach to doing what these routines do
but they are offered here as a starting point for the person in need of good
examples for same.

The remote_psdc.com routine makes use of a third party remote disk product
called THRUWAY if available. If not, remote DECnet access is utilized.

Best wishes !
