	The watch program runs as a
subprocess and monitors the activity of any
users that the guy running this utility wishes
to monitor. When the users under scrutiny log
on or off the system, a message is sent to the
monitor guy's terminal informing of the change
in status.  This is really useful if you are
trying to get ahold of some old cowpoke but he is not
on the system right now.
	Notes :
	This program runs at a regular interval, nominally set at
time of this writing, it runs every 60 seconds (see the RUN command below).
This if for two main reasons. First, It is
not necessary to watch the system continuously
since anyone logging on will probably be on
for at least a minute. Second, you are racking
up CPU overhead so it is a good idea to keep it
running as slow as possible.
	One irritating thing about this program is that it
tends to interrupt you at the worst possible moments with
crucial messages.
Therefore, it might be
wise to SET TERMINAL/NOBROADCAST when you temporarily don't
want to be bothered, for instance when you are using EDT.
This can be dangerous however, since NOBROAD also supresses messages
from the system such as "SYSTEM GOING DOWN IN 3 SECONDS".
	The user list file contains simply the user ID's
of the guys you want to keep tabs on and may
be created via the CREATE command. The default
file name is WATCH.DAT and unfortunately you
have to be in the specific directory or sub-
directory where this file resides when you
start up the subprocess. Logical assignments
will not carry over to the subprocess so
there is no way to redefine the file name unless you happen to
be a systems weenie.
	One last thing, if the program starts to have
problems, you must kill it by doing a
STOP/ID=nnnnnnnn or else by logging off (i.e. committing seppeku),
so...... rots o ruck Bozo !!!

	The first thing I do is extract your user name and
append "__WATCH" to it in order to identify who
dunnit. For example, if I ran this myself, the
name of the subprocess would show up on the
system as : HOSEHEAD__WATCH .
