  I really enjoy VMARC and really appreciated someone writing the QVMARC
front end.  The NOTE file on VMSHARE does not give the name of anyone,
just that it came from the 1990 Workshop tape.  If anyone knows who did
it, please pass on my thanks.

  QVMARC is a fullscreen front-end to VMARC like the PC versions for
ZIP, ARC, etc.  It was on VMSHARE and the SHARE Workshop tools tape for
1990.

  Since I use QVMARC so much I found that there were things that I
wanted to do that it didn't support yet, so I added them.

  My changes include 1) specifying the disk to unpack to, 2) getting
Temp disk if #1 isn't accessed, 3) adding Unpack to the initial screen
to do an entire VMARC file, 4) changing code to work with 32 and 24 line
displays, 5) allow sorting of display by various fields, 6) use LISTFILE
output for more information about each VMARC file and probably a few
minor things which don't come to mind right now.

  If you would like QVMARC you can get it from me via FTP 144.11.100.1,
userid ANONYMOU, password GUEST, files QVMARC VMSHARE and LOCAL.  If you
don't have FTP you can send me mail and I will send you a copy.
