     Recently I got  fed  up with the  usual `vms' command, which leaves
sys$input  and  sys$output connected to the  terminal, and wrote my own,
which does connect stdin to sys$input etc.  For example,

	% vms dir | more

works  fine.   Mine runs under VMS V3.7 and it should work on almost any
version of Eunice which runs on V3.7.

     This  is a fairly  easy thing to do,  for someone who is reasonably
familiar with the VMS system services.

     I'm quite  willing  to send this program out,  but I don't  want to
post it if there's not much demand, so mail me and if I get buried under
the mail  then  the program will  show up on  net.sources  (with mention
here) shortly thereafter.
