The files in this directory allow you to replace the normal
	VMS STOP command with one of your very own.

	Added Functionality:
  	---------------------
		o   Stop processes based on right part of PID, like
		    back in the old days.  This program will automatically
		    right justify, zero fill, and add the cluster part of
		    the eight hex digits.

		o   Stop processes based on part of the processname.  Unlike
		    any version before it, allows wildcard matching, partial
		    string lookup, and no uic requirement.  That's right,
		    just give it a process name substring, and any process
		    that has it, gets it!

		o   Selectively choose to $FORCEX, wait for image rundown,
		    or $DELPRC.  No more loose jobs, no more bad shutdowns.
		    Allows the qualifiers FORCEX/NOFORCEX, DELPRC/NODELPRC
		    to control these features.  Also features the world
		    reknown /NOW and /PATIENCE for the strong and faint at
		    heart with respect to image exit.

		o   Kills non-deleteable processes.  Yes, if the nodelete
		    bit is set, it clears it.  Have more fun with the audit
		    server than ever before.


	Missing Functionality:
	------------------------
		o   Used to be if you ^Y'd out of an image, you could type
		    STOP and it would do an image rundown for you.  Well,
		    with this one you can't.  Of course you can always 
		    type DIR or CREATE, or any other command that will
		    invoke a new image and flush out the old.


	Setup:
	-------------------------
	   o   Compile stop_id	    ($cc stop_id.c)
	   o   Assemble clrnodelete ($mac clrnodelete)
	   o   Link the two	    ($link/notrace stop_id,clrnodelete)
	   o   Copy the executable to ($copy stop_id.exe -
               the system image area   sys$common:[sysexe])
           o   Install it with privs  ($install add stop_id/open/head/shar-
                                       /priv=cmkrnl)
           o   Modify the command tables
                            ($set default sys$common:[syslib]
                             $set command/table=dcltablese.exe-
                             /output=dcltables.exe new_stop.cld)
           o   Install the new tables ($install replace sys$share:dcltables)
           
	Reboot Protection:
 	-------------------------
	To make this take effect at next reboot, I recommend either
		a. adding a line to your systartup that reads
			$install add sys$system:stop_id/open/head/shar-
			 /priv=cmkrnl

			or
		
		b. modify autogen.com so that it writes out a line to
		   do the above into vmsimages.dat, and then @autogen.
