INTRODUCTION:

	THE SYSTEM MANAGER MAY FIND THESE PROGRAMS AND COMMAND
	STRUCTURES USEFUL.  ALL FILES MAY NEED TO BE EDITTED TO
	REFLECT THE STRUCTURE OF THE SYSTEM WHICH THEY RUN ON.

	THE SYSTEM MANAGER MAY ALSO WANT TO CHECK THE PROGRAMS
	LOCATED IN [SYS0.SYSHLP.EXAMPLES] FOR OTHER FUNCTION:

		MAILCOMPRESS.COM
		MAILUAF.COM

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPMAIL.COM

	THIS UTILITY USES THE SETUSER FUNCTION TO PROVIDE THE 
	SYSTEM MANAGER WITH THE ABILITY TO COMPRESS USER MAIL
	FILES.  USER MAIL.MAI FILES NEED TO BE COMPRESSED
	PERIODICALLY TO SAVE DISK STORAGE SPACE.  IT USES AN
	INPUT FILE 'MANAGER.LIS'.  (SEE LAST COMMENTS THIS FILE).

	IT IS ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT THE USERS PERFORM THE
	COMMAND (WHILE IN MAIL):

		SET MAIL_DIRECTORY [.MAIL]

	THIS MOVES ALL .MAI FILES TO A NEWLY CREATED MAIL SUBDIRECTORY.

	THE SYSTEM MANAGER MAY WANT TO PERFORM THAT FUNCTION GLOBALLY
	BY EDITTING THE COMPMAIL.COM FILE TO EXECUTE THE FUNCTION FOR
	ALL USERS.  

	BY SETTING THE MAIL SUBDIRECTORY, THE SYSTEM IS THEN ABLE
	TO HIDE THE MAIL$....MAI FILES FROM USER VIEW, BUT ALSO
	MAY BE ABLE TO SEPERATE OUT MAIL DESTINATIONS FOR USERS
	WHO SHARE COMMON DEFUALT DIRECTORIES.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

DELOLDMAIL.COM

	DELOLDMAIL COMMAND FILE IS SUBMITTED BY THE MAIL COMPRESSION
	COMMAND FILE.  THE MAIL COMPRESSION ACTUALLY CREATES A NEW 
	MAIL.MAI FILE AND RENAMES THE OLD FILE TO MAIL.OLD.  IT IS
	RECOMMENDED THAT THIS FILE BE SUBMITTED AS A BATCH JOB AFTER
	THE INCREMENTAL BACKUP'S ARE COMPLETE.  IN THIS WAY BOTH THE
	NEW MAIL FILE AND THE OLD MAIL FILE ARE ON BACKUP MEDIA.
	REQUIRES BYPASS PRIVILEGE TO WORK PROPERLY.

	THIS FILE REQUIRES EDITTING TO REPLECT PROPER DISK USAGE.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

UAFLIS.COM

	UAFLIS.COM CREATES A SERIES OF MAIL DISTRIBUTION LIST FILES
	THAT CAN BE USED BY USERS AS BASIC DISTRIBUTION LIST.

	IT UTILIZES THE SYSUAF.LIS (BRIEF FORM) IN SYS$SYSTEM.

	THIS IS MEANT TO BE AN EXAMPLE OF HOW TO PERFORM THIS FUNCTION.

	FOR MY OWN PURPOSES, THIS COMMAND PROCEDURE ALSO CREATES A
	LIST OF ALL USERS (ON USERNAME PER LINE) CALLED MANAGER.LIS.
	THE MANAGER.LIS FILE IS USED BY THE ABOVE COMMAND PROCEDURES
	FOR MANAGING USER MAIL ON OUR SYSTEM.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYSMAIL.EXE & SYSMAIL.COM

	A PROGRAM TO SHOW IF A USER HAS ANY NEW MAIL IN HIS NEWMAIL FOLDER.
	THIS IS AN OLDER VERSION OF THE MAILUTIL PROGRAMS, AS SUCH ONLY THE
	EXECUTABLES ARE PROVIDED.

	MUST BE INSTALLED WITH CMKRNL PRIVILEGE AS FOLLOWS:

		INSTALL SYSMAIL.EXE/PRIV=CMKRNL

	THE SYSMAIL.COM FILE MAY BE USED TO ACTIVATE THE PROGRAM.
	ONE OF THE FOLLOWING SET OF COMMANDS MUST BE ISSUED:

		A.  FOR USE WITH SYSMAIL.COM:

			$ NEWM*AIL :== @location:SYSMAIL.COM

		    Then just issue:

			$ NEWM username

		B.  WITHOUT USE OF SYSMAIL.COM:

			$ NEWM*AIL :== $location:SYSMAIL.EXE
			$ ASSIGN/SYSTEM  SYS$SYSTEM:VMSMAIL.DAT  NEWMAIL
		
		    Then just issue:

			$ NEWM username


	SYSTEM REQUIRES THAT THE FILE VMSMAIL.DAT BE ASSIGNED AS A LOGICAL.
	(THE /SYSTEM ON THE LOGICAL ASSIGNMENT IS NOT REQUIRED)
