Abstract CERN_MANAGE is a package of VMS command procedures useful for maintaining the CERN software environment on a non-CERN VAX or VAXcluster. It was developed under VMS 5.5-2, and uses no third-party or binary-executable code, other than native VAX/VMS commands. The CERN_MANAGE system will make suitable additions to the VMS system environment to support the full range(*) of CERN-defined commands, as documented by CERN. (*) Tests have been made using the commands CERNLIB, PAW, RFRA, RTOA, RFRX, RTOX, and the YPATCHY series. Other CERN-defined commands have not been tested due to lack of necessary software or equipment. Latest Modifications: New routine, SYNCH_RDT.COM, used to override the default local file modification date with the date of the file at CERN, to avoid time-zone problems in incremental updates.
