[.AUDIT_REPORT]

Will create a comprehensive and easily-read audit report for a LIMS/SM database. The audit report will track results, changes to those results, and will report all "Reason for Change" text strings. This report has been updated in this release to work with both LIMS/SM V1.2 and LIMS/SM V1.3. The process requires that a series of programs be run. The source code for each of those programs is provided. Command files for building necessary programs, and for properly running those programs are also provided.

[.LOGO]

Allows the LIMS/SM user community to remove or alter the Digital Equipment Corporation logo at the top of each of their LIMS/SM screens. Detailed step-by-step instructions, as well as all necessary programs (source code), command files, and template files are provided.

[.SAMPTY]

Will produce a usefully detailed report of tests and other associated data for any sample type on a LIMS/SM database.

[.TAILOR]

Allows the LIMS/SM user community to replace original LIMS/SM screen terminology with site-specific terms. Detailed step-by-step instructions, as well as all necessary programs (source code), and command files are provided.

[.BATCH_FILE]

Will create for the user an external batch sample login data file based on the information supplied by the user. Documentation and source code are provided.

[.ARCH]

Will present a brief overview of the VAX LIMS/SM archive process and discuss how to include raw test data into the archive process. Documentation and source code are provided.

[.MENU_RMS]

Contains two reports for listing the contents of the menu processor MENU_NODES RMS data file, and the contents of the menu processor OPER_PRIV RMS data file. The utility also contains a subroutine that can be used to open either of the menu processor RMS data files as well as a subroutine that can be used to query the OPER_PRIV RMS data file. Finally two definition files are included that describe the contents and layout of the two menu processor RMS data files.
