     RMDEMO     -       A dynamic, user information, display program.

          This is yet another program that uses  the  $GETJPI  utility.   I
     wrote this program to gain a better and more detailed understanding of
     the System Services and Run Time Library.  The entire program is coded
     in  VAX FORTRAN except for the IDLE routines which I borrowed from Dr.
     Richard Garland who wrote the FINGER utility.  All output is done with
     the  Run  Time Library (LIB$) routines which are terminal independent.
     The input is performed with $QIOs and does  not  require  any  special
     terminal  attributes  (except  for  arrow  keys to change priority and
     sleep time) but will use VT100 and VT200 escape sequences if entered.

          This version is an update to the RMDEMO from the Fall '84 VAX SIG
     tape.   I  plan  to  modify  RMDEMO,  to use the new screen management
     services in the RTL as time permits.

          Environment - VAX/VMS V4.0 or later (Developed under V4.1)

          Must be installed with CMKRNL, ALTPRI, and WORLD privileges.
               CMKRNL - to get the idle times from the UCB's.
               WORLD  - so it can do GETJPI's on other processes.
                                                                          Page 2


               ALTPRI - so it can modify it's priority.

                                      NOTE

             Currently the IDLE times do not  work,  therefore  the
             CMKRNL is not needed.
