GRADER - a computer grading program. This program totals the student's scores,
computes percentages, and reports back the letter grade, It allows weighting
individual tests/assignments/etc. It is written in C with executables supplied.

LIST - a utility to view, search and extract from files. This code has evolved
from the 1982 ICR utility. While EXE, HLP and a Macro routine are provided, the
main source is NOT provided.

SWIM - a multi-session windowing terminal application. To use this code, you
must load the pseudo-terminal drivers twdriver and pydriver (also used with
DECwindows). It was noted by the librarian that this application MUST BE LOADED
WITH "/priv=(share,phy_io)". As noted by Glen Everhart, this is a very nice
package. I recommend recompiling/relinking the (C-code) package!

WRITEUP-LIBRARY - This utility is used to maintain an online WRITEUP library.
There is a priviliged and unpriviliged mode to selectively allow the
creation ,modification, etc. of modules within the library.

XSEARCH - a text search utility that allows the user to quickly search through
a list of files for a given strign or a logical statement made up of strings.
The code is written in C.
