Various M and M-Plus command files

BATCH.CMD	- Command file to promote the use of batch files by allowing
		  anyone to submit those 1-10 liner command sequences easily
		  and generally all on the command line. A real boon to
		  productivity here.

BLD.CMD		- A command file patterned after the LINK command file
		  in account [310,11] to compile and link a fortran program
		  in one operation. The compile and link commands are found
		  in the Comment section of the program (and stay there
		  where they belong). All of the single file programs here
		  use this global command file.

CHECKDATE.CMD	- Command file placed as the first part of the STARTUP.CMD
		  file to make sure that the year is correct and that the
		  date is greater than the last boot date.

MAKECMD.CMD	- A command file to build a command file to submit a batch
		  job for an application task. We have many large programs
		  that lend themselves to batch and chaining, but there are
		  too many questions for the user to remember when building
		  a batch file. This file will build a command file to ask
		  the questions that the application task asks, but with
		  complete help on every question, and answer verification.
		  The chaining option allows for default input filenames
		  from the previous output filename.

MONTHREP.CMD	- Datatrieve command file to submit a batch file to process
		  a months bills by user or for the system. Used via BATCH
		  and Datatrieve. It is based on the January 1984, Multi-Tasker
		  article. Supplies System charges for connect time, cpu-time,
		  no. QIO's, no. Directives, and no. Pages printed. Gives a
		  summary and user list. Also produces a list of invalid
		  logins for the month.
