		Software release description.

	This software is released in the spirit of the RSX/IAS user's
group, and the usual disclaimers hold for these programs.
	Any problems encountered, or suggestions, or even bug fixes,
should be sent to:

	Mark Johnson
	Atmospheric Sciences Division
	Room 204

	Edmonton, Alberta
	T6G 1K8

	The following is a list of the ASD UICs, and a few helpful?
comments.  Please note that many of the programs require two libraries
before they can be built.  These libraries are on [340,6], however,
the command files refer to HG:[111,1] to access the libraries.  If
this UIC is unavailable, the command files may be edited.

			GOOD LUCK!

[340,1] ABSTRACTS

	ASDEXP.TXT	-This explanation file.

[340,2] ASD MAIL - Inter-user message facility
	There are two tasks used to support ARC mail: the MAIL task,
	and the notification task.   The MAIL task is built from an
	object library (MAIL.OLB), the noification task is built from
	source.
	
	MAIL.RNO	-Documentation.

	MAIASM.CMD	-Assemble individual MAIL routines.
	MAITKASM.CMD	-Assemble the notification task.
	MAITKB.CMD	-Taskbuild the MAIL task.
	MAITKTKB.CMD	-Taskbuild the notification task.
	THEMAIL.CMD	-Build the works.

	MAICSPARS.MAC	-Source for MAIL modules.
	MAIDAY.MAC
	MAIDEFINE.MAC
	MAIDIE.MAC
	MAIFDB.MAC
	MAIFILDSD.MAC
	MAIFN2FDB.MAC
	MAIL.MAC
	MAILINBUF.MAC
	MAIMAIL.MAC
	MAIME.MAC
	MAIMESOUT.MAC
	MAIMRKTIM.MAC
	MAINAMSTR.MAC
	MAIOPNMAI.MAC
	MAIQUE.MAC
	MAIRDPMPT.MAC
	MAITERM.MAC

	MAITSK.MAC	-Source for the notification task.

	MAIL.MAP	-Example maps.
	MAITSK.MAP	

	MAIL.MLB	-Macro libraries used by MAIL.
	MAIMCR.MLB

	MAIL.OLB	-Object library for MAIL.

[340,3] ASD disk space accounting system.  This system is intended
	to monitor disk space usage continuously, and to notify
	users who are exceeding their specified limit.  A total of
	"disk-block-hours" is maintained for each user.  No files
	are deleted by this system, nor is any user prevented from
	taking as mush space as he wants.  However, the space is
	counted, and the warning messages are VERY ANNOYING.
	Files are located using the index file, so synonyms are not
	counted twice, and lost files are counted.  This could
	be slow on a big disk.  One pass through our 3 FULL RK06s
	takes about 10 seconds, and does not seem to interfere much.

	DCNTMAC.CMD	-assemble the maintenace program.
	DCNTTKB.CMD	-taskbuild the maintenance program.
	DSKMAC.CMD	-assemble the block counter.
	DSKTKB.CMD	-taskbuild the block counter.

	DCNT.MAC	-source for the maintenance program.
	DSKACN.MAC	-ditto for the block counter.
	PREDAF.MAC	-a prefix file for both of the above.

	DCNT.MAP	-example maps.
	DSKACN.MAP

[340,4]	ASD-expanded version of DECUS FODT.  Added features include:
	correct operation for FORTRAN V01C, multiple breakpoints,
	and the ability to produce a histogram of program performance.
	For more details, refer to the document included.

	FODTASM.CMD	-assemble the code.
		
	FODT.MAC	-the source code.

	LFODT.RNO	-the documentation (L => library!)

[340,5]
	HELP.TXT	-the file providing HELP through the HELP command.

[340,6]
	TS.MLB		-the macro library used by ASD software.
	TIMESAVE.MLB	-another name for the same thing.
	LIB.OLB		-the object library used by ASD software.
	LIBRARY.OLB	-another name for the same thing.

[340,7]	Assorted ASD utilities.  The command file ONETSK.CMD may be
	used to construct each of these utilities.  They all require
	the libraries from [340,6].

	ONETSK.CMD	-build one at a time.

	CNTASM.CMD	-contiguous disk space counter.
	CNTTKB.CMD
	CNT.MAC
	UCNT.RNO

	RATASM.CMD	-magtape control utility.
	RATTKB.CMD
	RAT.MAC
	DUMPX.MAC
	URAT.RNO
	
	STFASM.CMD	-stuff a command so that MCR thinks it comes
	STFTKB.CMD	 from another terminal (handy for signing users
	STF.MAC		 off!).  See source for comments.
