Area: [] - The VMSSERV top-level directory - Holds working files.

The file GET_COUNT.EXE is a small program to fetch the number of new messages
waiting for VMSSERV to process.

The various .MH files exist if you are using Janet_Mailshr and provide
additional mail header fields for messages sent by VMSSERV.

The file LOGIN.COM is used by VMSSERV to set up the various logical names used
either by Janet_Mailshr or to set up alternate filestores (see below).

The file VMSSERV.COM is VMSSERV - it is this file that is run periodically in
the batch queue to provide the VMSSERV functions.

The file VMSSERV.HELP is a textual message that will be sent back with
the "HELP" command.  It is a good idea to remove from this text any commands
that you have chosen to disable within VMSSERV.

The file VMSSERV.LOG is the output produced by the VMSSERV batch job.  It may
be useful to have this available sometimes if things go wrong - it is perhaps
best set up with a version limit (e.g. SET FILE/VERSION=5 VMSSERV.LOG) so that
you do not get too many copies.

The file VMSSERV.RPT is a report of all actions performed by VMSSERV.  It lists
the origin and subject of each message received along with all commands
processed and files sent.  This can provide a useful record of what VMSSERV has
actually done.


Area: [.DIS] - Holds files associated with mailing list distribution.

The file MAILING_LISTS.INDEX is a textual message that will be sent back with
the "LISTS" command.  All public mailing lists should be mentioned here. 
Private or secret ones may be omitted if felt desirable.

The file MAILING_LISTS.USERNAMES is a one per line list of all the mailing
lists on the server that accept mail sent to the list name.  i.e. the name
on the line is the username alias that will be searched for as "input" to be
sent out again.

Other files in this area come into two categories:

*.DIS    Distribution lists
*.NUMBER Message count for the lists

One of each file normally exists for each list.

*.DIS is a list of addresses automatically generated, and is created simply by
using the DCL command CREATE name.DIS and then typing <CTRL-Z>.

*.NUMBER is created and maintained by VMSSERV.  You should never need to do
anything with this file.


Area: [.FILES] - Holds major filestore and some specific interest filestores.

The file VMSSERV.INDEX is a textual message that will be sent back with
the "INDEX" command.  It helps to mention any specific filestores in here.
Specific filestores have their own index file called "name.INDEX"
(eg: MIST.INDEX) in this directory.

The major filestore is in the subdirectory [.DEFAULT], these are general
purpose files.

Specific interest files are defined in VMSSERV's LOGIN.COM, Eg:

$! Logical Names used for alternate filestores available for storing files
$ DEFINE/NOLOG TEST			dev:[VMSSERV.FILESTORE.TEST]
$ DEFINE/NOLOG SYSTEST			other_dev:[BIG_VMSSERV_FILES]
$ DEFINE/NOLOG MIST			dev:[VMSSERV.FILESTORE.MIST]

Defines three filestores that could be used in INDEX and GET.
