                          DCL Key Definition Routines

These routines can be called from any VMS language to work with DCL key
definitions.  There were written to provide a way to perform the DCL
command DEFINE/KEY from a program, since there is no LIB$DEFINE_KEY
routine.

These routines accompanied my VAX PROFESSIONAL article entitled
"DCL Key Definition Routines", published in February 1988.  They
appear here courtesy of Hunter Goatley and Professional Press.

The routines presented here can be assembled and placed in an object
library.  The commands to do this are

	$ DEFINE DCL$KEYLIB disk:[dir]
	$ LIBRARY/MACRO/CREATE DCLKEY.MLB DCLKEYMACS.MAR
	$ MACRO DEFINE,DELETE,STATE,FIND,GETDEF
	$ LIBRARY/OBJECT/CREATE DCLKEY.OLB *.OBJ

Programs that call the routines could then link the object library:

	$ LINK LOGIN,DCLKEY/LIBRARY

A sample LOGIN.MAR program has been supplied to demonstrate how to define
a key from MACRO.

Any comments are appreciated.
