This is the first part (actually the README file) of my RJE print spool manager.
It is written for SNA RJE on the NCR Tower platform, running NCR's SNA RJE V
product. This application is targeted at the end user, and allows him to easily
maintain large numbers of files received on the RJE logical print device. The
included file below explains things in greater detail, cut at the line and save.

splmgr - SNA RJE print spool manager
This is a interactive utility for SNA RJE print spool management.
It presents print files in list format to the user, displaying
pertinent information about the file such as jobname, date, time,
line count, etc. The user may perform a variety of functions
on the file such as print, view and delete. Additionally, many
of these singular operations may be done en masse on "tagged" or
"untagged" files.
Currently this distribution supports SNA RJE print files,
I have diffs for BSC RJE if anyone wants them. The JES2
job information retrieved from the 1st banner line with each
print file may vary between IBM hosts. Hack as you see fit.
This software was developed and tested on an NCR Tower 32/650
running OS 3.00.01 (SYS5R3). If you are running on OS 2.xx
(SYS5R2) you will need to get Doug Gwyn's portable directory
routines (opendir, closedir et al) and install them prior to
building this application.

The program is built thru the provided Makefile, edit it to
fit your needs and just 'make'. The program runs setuid to
root, and does a chdir to the directory where your print files
live. RJE print files are normally owned by srje and users
therefore delete them, hence the need for setuid permissions.
If you don't have root permissions on your system, request
your administrator to install this program.
