When installed, SYMBOL can be used by any user in the VMScluster to define, display, or delete symbols in its own symbol table or in the symbol table of any process in the VMScluster. Privileges are required to affect any process which the user does not own or have rights to access. SYMBOL can be a invaluable utility for both the system manager and the DCL program developer. Using SYMBOL, the system manager can easily modify and view a user's DCL environment. Developers and maintainers of DCL command procedures can use SYMBOL as a DCL debugging utility because SYMBOL provides them the ability to observe both the symbol, by name, and its equivalence string while the DCL procedure is executing in a context of a process. There's a lot more; SYMBOL will let you use DCL symbols much in the same way you may be able someday to use cluster wide logicals. SNAPSHOT is a utility which lets you make snapshot process dumps of some other process, and optionally kill the process afterwards. (Last minute addition.)
