FLEXISMB

   FLEXISMB is a full-fledged modified print symbiont.  It supports 
security labeled (ie. UNCLAS, CONFID, SECRET) and system defined 
(ie. PROPRIETARY) flag and header pages.

   The flag page layout is quite different from the DEC supplied
default.  Only the items necessary for identification of the owner are 
used.  The page layout emphasizes security and the security classification
is the largest item on the page.  

   The classification type is determined by the filename of the file
to be printed.  If the complete filename contains the word "SECRET" anywhere
(ie: USER$DISK:[WISCHOW]SECRET.DAT or USER$DISK:[SECRET]WISCHOW.DAT) then
the file classification on output is SECRET.  The same for confidental (CONFID)
files.  The print symbiont software keys on the words SECRET, CONFID, and
UNCLAS to determine the classification of the output.  When a classified file 
is printed the following message is sent to the operators console and the 
operator log file indicating that the file is being printed and on which
queue.  

	%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM  13-OCT-1987  10:44:22.11  %%%%%%%%%%%
	Message from user SYSTEM
	Security Alarm / Classified file queued to print on XXX_QUEUE
		User Name:	SYSTEM
		Time:		13-OCT-1987 10:42:23.14
		File:		_DJA0:[WISCHOW.SECRET]DUMMY.DAT;4


   If a classified file is printed and the /PARAMETER (alternate flag/header
set) qualifier is used the /PARAMETER flag/header set is used and the
classified file message is STILL sent to the operator and the log file.

   Unless specified the above scenario is used.  


                       Standard FLEXISMB Logical Names

		Item			Logical Name		Where used
		----			------------            ----------
        System identification		FLEXISMB_SYSID		 Flag page
	Comment	line		 	FLEXISMB_COMMENT         Flag page
	Declassification		FLEXISMB_DECLASS        Page header
	Bad file types	   		FLEXISMB_BADTYPES	   Both
	Alternate set users		FLEXISMB_USERS		   Both

   These are REQUIRED logical names.  If you do not want to specify
anything for one of the items, then equate the logical name to a blank string 
(" ").

   The system identification is printed in the header of the flag page.
This string may be up to 132 characters.  The comment line is a 132 character
string that is printed just before the flag page trailer.  The declassification
string is a 69 character string that is part of the classified page header.
The declassification string is NOT printed if the form size is < 132 characters
due to space limitations.

   FLEXISMB allows the specification of file types to prohibit from 
printing.  The logical name FLEXISMB_BADTYPES defines the file extentions
that you want to prohibit from printing (i.e. .OBJ and .EXE).  If a file
type defined in FLEXISMB_BADTYPES is queued to print, it will be aborted
after the printing of the flag page.  This string may be up to 255 characters.

   The system manager may create additional flag and header sets by 
creating additional logical name tables (under the system logical name table).
Each of these other tables contains the logical name equivalents for a flag 
page and page header set.

   By default, the flag page has four lines of text:

		LINE1: Username .........  7 characters high
		LINE2: Classification ... 14 characters high
		LINE3: Filename .........  7 characters high
		LINE4: File extention ...  7 characters high
   

	(Please see SETLOG.COM for examples of FLEXISMB logical names)

   To use an alternate set (flag page/page header) define the following 
logical names in a table underneath the system logical name table:

		Four flag page lines:     FLAG_LINE1
 					  FLAG_LINE2
					  FLAG_LINE3
					  FLAG_LINE4

		and one page header line: HEADER

   FLEXISMB, also, supports 80 column printers.  Start the queue in
the eighty column mode by using the form qualifier on the INIT or START command.

   FLEXISMB supports the /NOTE qualifier.

   At this time FLEXISMB does not support BURST pages.


   To print a file using the defaults:

		PRINT/QUEUE=xxx   filename

   To print a file using an alternate flag page/header page set:
   
		PRINT/QUEUE=xxx/PARAMETER=ZZZ   filename

         where ZZZ is the name of a logical name table under the
		system logical name table.

   Please read the NOTES.TXT file before attempting to modify this
software.  Modification and testing can be a cryptic experience.  Once I 
understood how all this stuff worked...every thing was fine, however, it can 
be a real pain.
