Spring 1989 Submissions to the VAX SIG Tape
                        from Allied Electronics
                           Fort Worth, Texas


       Allied Electronics' submissions consist of a number of useful
       command procedures and programs.  More complete descriptions of
       the submissions can be found in the AAAREADME.1ST file in each
       sub-directory, and within the programs and procedures.

     [.Allied.DCL]
       Command procedures to
       		o Execute AUTOGEN and provide you with a complete list
       		  of changed SYSGEN params, with before and after values
       		o Submit an executable to run in batch without having
       		  to make a command procedure for it.
       		o Run VPA and send a MAIL message indicating if any
       		  `conclusions' were reached.
       		o Do $INSTALL REPLACE commands on every node in a cluster
       		  using SYSMAN.
       		o Optimize and rebuild indexed files.
       		o Display a number of VPA graphs for the previous day.

     [.Allied.Login]
       A Macro program (mostly Hunter Goatley's code from the VAX
       Professional Magazine) with some mods I added.  It should speed
       up logins considerably for anyone who is doing more than a few
       logical and symbol assignments via DCL in their current
       LOGIN.COM.


     [.Allied.Send_Mail]
       This directory includes a Fortran subroutine and a BASIC function
       which make use of DEC's undocumented (and as yet unsupported)
       Callable MAIL Interface to send a message.  Jim Geier of General
       Instrument sent me the Fortran code in response to a message I
       posted on DECUServe.  I wrote the BASIC code because we don't
       have a Fortran compiler.  Object code from the BASIC function is
       included in this submission.
