KMS BATCH has been rewritten to make use of SPAWNING under
RSX11M V3.2. Its use no longer requires modifications to HELLO and BYE.
It provides a single stream BATCH like environment. A user SUBMITS a
job, which is logged onto a virtual terminal. The single disadvantage
of this is that there is only a single job stream allowed without rewriting
the VT driver.

To provide for a multi-stream BATCH like environment, PDQ is provided
(Program Development Queues). PDQ provides for multiple program development
queues to exist on an RSX11M system. These queues are managed by the
QUEUE MANAGER. The requirement is that the user stay logged on to his
terminal and not change his/her UIC until the command file starts executing.
In practice the user submits his command file (.CMD) or procedure file
(.PRC) via the EXEC CCL command. The command file is then despooled
and an MCR command of the form @CMDFIL or PIN PRCFIL is spawned at the
user's TI: when a queue becomes free. Please read PDQ.RNO for more
details.

PDQ provides a nice example of how to write a despooler for the
queue manager.

Good Luck
