CONNEX
                 External Dialup Connection Control Facility

	 The CONNEX program is a rather crude hack of the DECUS UUCP
	 UUCICO program. It manages dialup connections to external
	 systems using a system and port database and scripting
	 facility similar to that used by UUCP. It allows the user to
	 use his own choice of technique for the actual data transfer.
	 It is designed with automated batch transfers in mind.
	 See CONNEX.RNO for details.

	 
                                    FILES

	 The important files in this directory are:

	    CONNEX.C -- the main program;
	    CONMISC.C -- miscellaneous routines;
	    CALL.C -- call management routines;
	    SYSDEP.C -- VMS system dependant routines;
	    CONNEX.H, INCLUDES.H and SYSDEP.H -- various definitions;
	    CONNEX.MSG -- message definition file;
	    CONNEX.RNO -- CONNEX user's guide;
	    CONNEX.MMS -- a VMS MMS description file;
	    BUILD.COM -- a DCL script to build CONNEX;
	    C.OPT -- VAX C link options file.

	 The directory also includes object and image files.

	 
                               BUILDING CONNEX

	 If MMS is available, use CONNEX.MMS, which recognizes two
	 MACROs:
	    DEBUG, which if defined compiles and links with /DEBUG;
	    XSCA, which if defined uses an SCA library.

	 If MMS is not available, use BUILD.COM.

	 
                              SITE CONFIGURATION

	 As supplied, CONNEX uses a variant of the UUCP SYSTEMS file
	 format which eliminates unused fields. If compatability with
	 UUCP SYSTEMS file format is desired, define the C
	 pre-processor symbol UUCP_COMPAT. See CONNEX.H for details.

	 Image exit status codes are defined in CONNEX.MSG. You will
	 probably want to pick your own site-dependant message
	 facility code.
