This directory contains programs for communicating with other computers.
The programs given here are useful for communicating with a WANG word
processor over an asynchronous RS232 lines.

Another major communications program, VAXNET, is contained in its own directory 
[VAXSIGLIB.VAXNET].

			CAVEAT USER

This directory contains various versions and data bases for device drivers
that have been written for VAX/VMS.  There is no documentation on the various
modules and no information as to how current the drivers are.

 
DRA2:[VAX79A.MISCUTIL]AAAAAREAD.ME;11
 
			AN APOLOGY

The files in this directory are all very useful.  Unfortunately, the
documentation, or in some cases the data files, necessary to use some programs
have not been written.  I have included such undocumented programs anyway
in hopes that someone will need the programs badly enough that they will
complete the job.  Please send any such updates to the VAX SIG LIBRARIAN
so that the FALL 79 VAX SIG TAPE will have this documentation.

					Thanks,
					John Thompson, VAX SIG LIBRARIAN
 
DRA2:[VAX79A.PROCESS]AAAAAREAD.ME;12
 


This directory contains some very useful programs for doing process related
things.  There are a couple of modifications to the DISPLAY program for
terminals that aren't VT52's.  WHO lets you know the usernames and process
information about interactive users.  There are several examples of getting
command line information and passing it to your program.  The PCHIST program
together with TIME allows finding out where the PC spends most of its time
in your program.  VAXTIME is useful for timing intervals within your program.
