These are some preliminary programs that came out of our first
six months with V4 of VAX/VMS.  
.list
.le;BREAK
Terminals which are set to be /DISCONNECTable can generate
lots of spurious jobs if users lean on the BREAK key too much.
Since our users were used to pounding on the BREAK key to talk
to a IDX3000, V4 VAX systems often had 64 detached jobs running
LOGINOUT.  BREAK is a detached program (may be easily integrated
into your existing DAEMON) which detects these monsters and
cuts them off (before the normal disconnect process timeout)

.le;ED1
When Digital gave us callable EDT, we implemented the long-requested
EDT-which-remembers-the-last-file-you-edited. GOODBYE to all
those awful EDT.COM files FOREVER!  Also, for the fun of it, I implemented
XLATE functionality, which allows you to go directly from EDT
into PHONE, MAIL, or DCL and then back.  It was easy. See our
example EDTINI.SYS file for information on how to include
this functionality.  

This particular program also implements file locking; that is,
no two people can edit the same file at the same time.  This was
done for a particular customer; you may wish to comment out calls
to ED1$ACQUIRE_MUTEX and ED1$RELEASE_MUTEX if this feature is
not needed at your site. In that case, you may also ignore ED1MUTEX.MAR.
(I'm not sure, but since it uses $ENQ, it might even work on
a cluster???)

.le;ARRAY_EDIT
While writing ED1, I also thought that a subroutine which
edits a FORTRAN character array might be handy, and here it
is.  Read ARRAY_EDIT.FOR for documentation.
