FSTOPN.BAS    Preopens  any  number  of specified files so that they
              can be "reopened" without requiring disk  overhead  in
              FIP.

REORDR.COM    Automatically reorders all files each night.

STRETC.BAS    Utility  to  determine  wall  and clock stretch times.
              Useful for system tuning.

ASYIO.MAC     Asynchronous   I/O   subroutines  callable  from  BP2.
              Includes ASYGET, ASYPUT, and ASYDON.

FILCPY.B2S    Example  program  using ASYIO subroutines to copy from
              one file to another using asynchronous I/O.

PRESET.BAS    Generates a patch control file for ONLPAT that presets
              terminal  characteristics,  date  and time format, and
              magtape density and labeling format  defaults  in  the
              monitor  SIL so that they do not need to be set during
              system   startup.      This   makes   system   startup
              substantially faster.

TAPCOP.BAS    Duplicates  a  magtape.    The tape may have any label
              format and use any  character  format  (eg.  ASCII  or
              EBCDIC).    The  density  may be changed on the output
              tape.  The tape may be copied to itself when  changing
              density, if desired.

RD1TRC.BAS    Shows  the number of disk accesses required to open or
              create a file on an RDS1 format disk.

MTDIR.BAS     Prints  a directory listing of a magtape.  The magtape
              may be a combination of ANSI and/or DOS formats,  such
              as found on the RSTS/E V9.x Installation tapes.

SILSYM.BAS    Displays a list of the global symbols in each phase of
              a  SIL  file.  Useful for displaying a link map for an
              existing monitor SIL or other SIL format files.

SUBMIT.COM    Generates  and  submits a temporary batch control file
              to  perform  specified  commands.    Very  useful  for
              background  processing  and  compiling  while  you  do
              something else.

SYSDO.COM     Automatically  submits  all appropriate daily, weekly,
              and monthly batch command files defined by  all  users
              to  batch  each  day  during  the early morning hours.
              Useful for system and account management.

XMODEM.BAS    File transfer utility using the XMODEM protocol.
