RUNOFF:

          This template simplifies the production of documents by
     making RUNOFF commands available within the editor, and allowing
     the user to enter abbreviations and have the editor expand them
     to the full command, with any parameters in the correct place.

          This submission does not by itself explain what RUNOFF is:
     a RUNOFF manual should be supplied with the operating system.
     However, the template does make it easier for new users to
     become familiar with RUNOFF.

          Although a compiled environment file is included, you may
     wish to recompile from the source.  Instructions on doing this,
     and setting up your default environment to include the new
     instructions, are in sections 6.3 and 7.2 of the "Guide to VAX
     Language-Sensitive Editor and VAX Source Code Analyzer" manual
     (August 1987).

          The RUNOFF template currently looks for language help in
     the system help directory.  You will have to create a help
     library by doing a

      LIBRARY/CREATE/HELP RNO.HLB RNO.HLP

     command and put the library into SYS$HELP.

          The RUNOFF template is fairly comprehensive, and should
     contain all of the commands in DSR as supplied with VMS: the
     help file is less so, and could really use some more help text.

MACRO-32:

          By "popular demand" I have begun a template for VAX
     Macro-32 assembler.  The definitions follow those in the "VAX
     MACRO and Instruction Set Reference Manual" AA-Z700A-TE. I have
     defined (I believe) all of the instructions and assembler
     directives: but these definitions call for placeholders to
     expand the operands and arguments and only some of those have
     been defined.  I have decided to put the definitions on the tape
     even though they are incomplete as I believe there is a good
     enough start here for others to do some of the "dog work" of
     filling in the missing placeholders.  I could then merge
     everything together in a future release.

LSE:

          This submission also includes an LSE template for LSE. This
     template is a crude one, but was enough to greately simplify the
     task of creating the above templates.
