The programs simply convert System Accounting data (right
now only process deletion for Interactive, Subprocess, Detached,
Batch, and Network sessions), or PSI Accounting data (there is only
one type of record now) into flat, fixed length, fixed field layout
files.  These files may be read by Datatrieve, and are easier to
ready in other languages as well. 

	The programs here have been set up to use command
descriptors.  This means that you should assemble and link the
programs and put the executable images into the system directory
(you have to be privileged to do this, though the programs
themselves use no special privileges). For example: 

$ MAC/OBJ ACC_CONVERT
$ LINK ACC_CONVERT
$ COPY ACC_CONVERT.EXE SYS$SYSTEM
$ SET PROT=(WO:RE) SYS$SYSTEM:ACC_CONVERT.EXE

If you plan to use the programs a lot, you should probably install
them. 

To use the program, you define the new commands by:

$ SET COMMAND ACC_COMMAND

to read the CLD file.  The program is then invoked by:

$ ACC_COMMAND [/output=file] input.file

The help files may be placed in the system help library by:

$ SET DEFAULT SYS$HELP
$ LIB/INS HELPLIB.HLB disk:[directory]ACC_CONVERT.HLP, PSI_CONVERT.HLP

where disk:[directory] is where the files are now.

You can also use the programs without being a system manager (if you
have read access to the data files themselves).  Compile and link
them as before: if you don't want to put them in the system account,
edit the command descriptor to put them where you want them. For
example, change the line in ACC_CONVERT.CLD from 

  image ACC_CONVERT

to

  image yourdisk:[yourdirectory]ACC_CONVERT

where yourdisk and yourdirectory are wherever you want the image to
be. 

There is also some stuff here to match up the PSI data with the
System data.  The two FDL files are used to load the data into
indexed files with the unit as the key: this allows fast matching of
corresponding sessions (see BOTH.DTR). 

ACCOUNTING.FDL		define indexed files for account matching
PSIACCOUNTING.FDL

ACC_CONVERT.CLD		command descriptor files
PSI_CONVERT.CLD

ACC_CONVERT.DTR		Datatrieve record definitions
PSI_CONVERT.DTR
BOTH.DTR		account matching definition (preliminary)

ACC_RECORD.DTR		Datatrieve record definitions which do a better
PSI_RECORD.DTR		job of formatting the information than the
			above definitions, but require a user-defined
			function FN$FAO (which may be found in the
			[.FUNCTIONS] directory of this submission).

ACC_CONVERT.HLP		Help files
PSI_CONVERT.HLP
CONVERT.HLB		help files placed in a library for testing

ACC_CONVERT.MAR		Sources for the programs
PSI_CONVERT.MAR

INSTRUCTIONS.MAR	How to determine how much your terminals are being
			used (Erlang traffic survey), and additional
			instructions on using the stuff in this directory.
MEASURE.DTR		The Datatrieve stuff to do the traffic survey.
MOD.FDL			Used with the above.
DAILY*.*		Also mentioned in the above instructions.
TRAFFIC.RNO		What an Erlang traffic survey is, why it's
			so useful, and why you should know about it.
