===================
Occasionally you will run across a BIG directory. This will
hopefully not happen until you read more on VAX on my WHAT'S
HACKING sub boards, but if it does, this list will hopefully help
you avoid making too big a mistake or wasting a lot of time.
ADA Ada compiler source code file
BAS BASIC compiler source code file
B32 BLISS-32 compiler source code file
C C compiler source code file
COB COBAL compiler source code file
FOR FORTRAN compiler source code file
MAR MACRO compiler source code file
PAS Pascal compiler source code file
PLI PL/I compiler source code file
CLD DCL command description file
COM DCL batch or command procedure file
DAT Data file
DIS Distribution file (as in mail)
DIR Directory file (as in a subdirectory)
EDT Command file for the EDT editing program
EXE Executable program
HLP Text for help libraries
JOU EDT editor journal when problems occur
LIS System listing file (as in TYPE, PRINT, & PHOTO)
LOG Batch job output file
MAI Mail message file
MEM DSR output file
OBJ Object code created by compiler before LINKing
RNO Source file for DSR

UAF USER AUTHORIZATION FILE
I will comment extensively on UAF files if I decide to type up
another VAX tutorial.
