CC:	macro32@WKUVX1.BITNET
Subj:	FILESERV@WKUVX1 Additions: EPM, SESSION_NOTES, FILES_INFO update

The following packages have been added to FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET.
For a brief list of all packages available, send the command DIR ALL.

  o  EPM  -- Disk I/O Performance Monitor

        Because the MACRO32 group asked for it.... 8-)

        The  EPM  package  provides a means to collect statistics on
        disk I/O operations that VMS does not, by default,  provide.
        EPM  is  capable of providing a synopsis of the type of disk
        I/O's, the size of each I/O, and tracking  which  files  are
        accessed  the  most  both for read/write operations and as a
        result of file fragmentation.

        Great for determining the number of split I/Os, which files
        caused it, and which files were most accessed during the
        interval.  Written by Edward A. Heinrich <heinrich@BYU.EDU>.

  o  SESSION_NOTES  --  LaTeX macros for DECUS Symposia presentations

        Submitted by Wayne Sewell <wayne@tachyon.org>

        This  package  is  a  set  of  LaTeX  macros to simplify the
        generation of  presentations  for  DECUS  symposia.   Unlike
        SliTeX,  which  isn't  available in every TeX package, these
        macros should work on any system with LaTeX.

        The  package is designed to generate two different printouts
        from the same source file.  One is intended for the  session
        notes  and/or  handouts, and combines multiple slides on the
        same page to reduce white space, and therefore page count.
        The  other is for the actual presentation slides themselves,
        one per page.

        The  formatting  macros  are  separate from the presentation
        itself, allowing the macros to be used for  another  session
        with no modification.

   o  FILES_INFO  --  Display processes that have a file open

        This version of FILES_INFO fixes a couple of problems
        discussed on the MACRO32 mailing list.

To get one or more of the packages via e-mail, send the appropriate
commands below in the body of a mail message to
FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET:

SEND EPM
SEND SESSION_NOTES
SEND FILES_INFO
SEND FILESERV_TOOLS     !Needed if you don't have UNZIP and MFTU already.

You can also get the files via anonymous ftp from ftp.spc.edu.  You'll
need:

        [.MACRO32]UNZIP.EXE
        [.MACRO32.SAVESETS]EPM.ZIP
        [.MACRO32.SAVESETS]FILES_INFO.ZIP
        [.MACRO32.SAVESETS]SESSION_NOTES.ZIP

Thanks to Ed Heinrich and Wayne Sewell for their contributions.
