THIS COMMUNICATIONS SOFTWARE HAS BEEN USED EXTENSIVELY IN TEST SITUATIONS
ON A SINGLE PROCESSOR AND IN A THREE PROCESSOR/THREE LINK CONFIGURATION,
WHERE ONE THE MACHINES HAS TWO OF THE LINKS.  IT HAS NOT YET BEEN USED
IN A RUNNING EXPERIMENT AT FERMILAB AND SO WILL VERY PROBABLY STILL CONTAIN
SOME BUGS.  WE HOPE THEY ARE NOT SERIOUS ONES. 
 
PN172.MEM ON [77,200] IS THE PRELIMINARY VERSION OF THE FERMILAB GUIDE
TO INSTALLING AND USING THE SOFTWARE.  IT CONTAINS A COMPLETE LIST OF  
THE CONTENTS OF THE TAPE BY UIC. PAPERS PRESENTED AT THE DECUS
FALL 82 SYMPOSIUM AND OTHER DOCUMENTATION RELATING TO COMMUNICATIONS
SOFTWARE CAN BE FOUND ON [77,200].
 
ON THIS UFD ([77,1]) IS A COMMAND FILE "OFFBRU.CMD" WHICH WE HAVE FOUND 
USEFUL FOR GETTING UFD'S OFF BRU FORMAT RSX SIG TAPES, AS WELL AS FOR
RECOVERY OF UFD'S FROM BACKUP SETS. READ THE COMMAND FLE BEFORE YOU TRY
TO USE IT SO THAT YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT.

THE AUTHORS WILL BE GRATEFUL IF USERS OF THE SOFTWARE WILL FEED BACK
THEIR EXPERIENCES AND REPORT ON BUGS FOUND, PREFERABLY IN WRITING.
