BACBRU Utilities	A Pascal program and indirect command file for M-Plus
                        systems to implement incremental disk backups using
                        Virtual Terminals. Provides neatly formatted output
                        from BRU, and may be executed from Batch to provide
                        daily backup with a log of all backed-up files.
                        See [307,20]BACBRU.DOC for futher details.

                        submissions.

AST.RNO                 Handout accompanying the Spring '83 DECUS session
AST.DOC                 "Hows and Whys of ASTs," originally published in
                        the RSX/IAS Spring '83 DECUS Handout. If you want
                        to know anything about ASTs in RSX, this handout
                        should cover it.

NEWFIXER                Replacement for FXR... task distributed with M-Plus
                        systems, which recovers from hard memory parity
                        errors. DEC's version has problems; you may want
                        to try using this one. See NEWFIXER.DOC
