     The files on [344,*] represent an update and addition to KMSKIT for
RSX11M V3.2 BL26.  It is assumed that the user has the required previous
files as found on the FALL and SPRING 1980 RSX SIG DECUS tapes.  Contents
of each UIC are described in detail in README.1ST files on each UIC.
Documentation is in RUNOFF format, and generally .DOC files are also
provided.

[344,43]	A new version of POOL which prints out a list of active
		tasks for the user to select for aborting.  Two neat
		privileged tasks to help with pool and core allocation
		and to provide another level of task control.

[344,45]	A new version of KMS BATCH, rewritten to use SPAWNING.
		Does not require a special HELLO/BYE to work.  Also
		a multi-stream Batch-like despooler, PDQ, which uses
		the new Queue Manager.
		
[344,51]	LDLIB routines.  Routines providing transient resident
		libraries for RSX11M.  Using PLAS, resident libraries
		(F4PRES, BP2RMS) will load into core when a task is
		run and leave when the task exits.

[344,52]	Documentation for QMG/LPP/QMGCLI send/receive packets.
		Can be made to create an insert for the Mini-Ref.

[344,60]	A slightly newer version of CCL.  Literally more 'bells'
		and 'whistles'.

[344,66]	Performance measurement tools which use the hooks provided
		by the KMS Accounting System.


     As always, I enjoy hearing from users who are who have implemented
various parts of KMSKIT, and will provide help as needed if difficulties
arrise.  I am still anxious to get comments and suggestions back on the
KMS System Accounting package.  User written analysis programs are more
than welcome.  KMSKIT will be supported through RSX11M V4.0, and I am
now in the process of taking suggestions for the next release of KMSKIT.
