	This UIC contains various items to make life more pleasant.

ABORT.MAC makes it easy to have Abort AST's in Fortran programs, so your
	programs exit cleanly. There were articles recently on this in
	the multi-tasker, and mine is included here.


CIPHER.FTN A data encryption program, easy to use, difficult to break.

COPYPACK.CMD To simplify generating skeleton system packs from masters. Uses
		two other files to copy only the desired UICs from one pack
		to another.

GRAPHIC.FTN;3	To put VT100 family terminals out of graphics mode.

LIFE.FTN;1	A LIFE program for VT100 family terminals. Entertaining. Also
			demonstrates ABORT.

LINEOFF.CMD	To switch devices from DECNet back to RSX
LINEON.CMD 	To switch devices from RSX to DECNet.

	In our development environment, we sometimes want to use DMR's
		for our own programs, and sometimes to get DECNet links
		up. Since a device cannot be owned both by RSX and DECNet,
		we bring up DECNet with no lines on, and then use these
		command files to switch devices from one owner to another.
		

MODULE.FTN	Extracts names of modules and sources from maps. Handy if
		you want to get a list of modules actually used by a task
		to prepare overlays, or determine what resident libraries
		can be used, etc.

TIME.MAC	Tests the Floating Point Processor and prints the time.
		Because the FPP on some 11's (especially the 11/70) can
		fail in a mode where the FPP generates arithmatically
		incorrect values, but does not generate system errors,
		a method of obtaining a warning when the FPP fails was
		wanted. This program does this, and also prints the time
		and error count out.  Normally it is run on the clock
		queue to print out every 10 minutes or so. Also handy
		to mark the time off on your console listings.
