ABSTRACT  

	The VAX/VMS operating system is supplied with utilities
        that casual users may not be aware of.  It is not always 
        clear how to use these utilities from a high level 
        language such as VAX Pascal.  This paper explores the use 
        of LIB$TPARSE, the librarian, RMS, the CLI callback, and
        the set message utility from a Pascal program.  Examples 
        and hints are shown.  The use of these utilities can save
        program development time and produce better quality software.
