DESCRIPTION

   NAMES is an OpenVMS utility  that allows a  user  to  store  information
   about people.  NAMES can use this information to create logicals for use
   by MAIL and SEND, so the user may MAIL or SEND to those  people  without
   having  to remember  their usernames  or node  names.  NAMES also allows
   you to modify the NAMES data base.

UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS

   The  NAMES utility  is distributed in  an archive created by the OpenVMS 
   version of  ZIP,  a common compression/archival utility in PC world.  To
   unpack the archive, you must have the UNZIP utility.  If you do not have
   UNZIP,  it  can  be obtained  by  anonymous FTP  at ftp.decus.org.   The 
   source  files  are  located  on  the  device  VS0174:, and the directory
   [UNZIP].

   To get to this directory, type the following commands at the FTP prompt:

                  ftp> cd VS0174:
                  ftp> cd [UNZIP]

      WARNING:  Changing directory to VS0174:[UNZIP] WILL NOT WORK.

   The method to unpack the NAMES utility source files is as follows:

      1.  Create a [.NAMES]  subdirectory on the device and directory where
          you install software.  This will become your NAMES root directory

      2.  Copy the NAMES.ZIP file into your NAMES root directory.

      3.  Use the UNZIP utility to unpack the archive,  using the following
          command:

                  $ UNZIP NAMES

   If everything unpacked without errors,  you should refer to the READ.ME
   file in the NAMES root directory for the installation instructions.
