THE CONFIRM PROGRAM


  CONFIRM is an interactive program to be run at login time for users.
The program was developed after users denied seeing important login 
messages.  The files are as listed with brief description:

      BUILD.COM     - Command procedure to build CONFIRM.EXE
      CONFIRM.CLD   - Command file for the program.
      CONFIRM.COM   - A test for deleting usernames from files.
      CONFIRM.EXE   - The executable of course.
      CONFIRM.FOR   - Source code for the program.
      CONFIRM.HELP  - The help file for the program.  Not given as HLP
                      since its intended use is for system people, not
                      the user community.
      CONFIRM.MSG   - The message to be displayed on users terminal
                      at login. (EXAMPLE)
      CONFIRM.NO    - List of users that replied 'NO' to the message.
                      (EXAMPLE)
      CONFIRM.OBJ   - Object file.
      CONFIRM.OPT   - Options file containing version
      CONFIRM.YES   - List of users that replied 'YES' to the message.
                      (EXAMPLE)

  Link the program with the options qualifier:

     $ LINK/notrace CONFIRM /OPTIONS


  To keep pranksters out of the files, install this program with SYSPRIV
and keep the protection on the CONFIRM.NO and the CONFIRM.YES file with 
no group or world access, but allow SYSTEM to have read and write.
