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.  Date and time are posted with the username as well.  The 
files are as listed with brief description:

      BUILD.COM     - Command procedure to build CONFIRM.EXE
      CONFIRM.CLD   - Command file for the program.
      CONFIRM.EXE   - The executable of course.
      CONFIRM.FOR   - Source code for the program.
      CONFIRM.INFO  - List of users, their replies and last time they saw
                      the message to confirm (EXAMPLE).
      CONFIRM.MSG   - The message to be displayed on users terminal
                      at login. (EXAMPLE)
      CONFIRM.OBJ   - Object file.
      CONFIRM.OPT   - Options file containing version

  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.INFO file with no group or world 
access, but allow SYSTEM to have read and write.

  Read the CONFIRM.HLP for more information on how to use CONFIRM.
