1##SUMMARY
.PARAGRAPH 0
VERSION 4 REPRESENTS A COMPLETE REFORMATTING OF THE QUOLST OUTPUT.
THIS CHANGE WAS MADE TO SPEED UP THE TYPING AND TO ELIMINATE SEVERAL
ITEMS OF CONFUSION.  ALTHOUGH THE RESULT IS QUITE TERSE, IT IS
MUCH MORE UNDERSTANDABLE.  A HELP FILE IS SUPPLIED WHICH EXPLAINS
THE USE OF QUOLST.
.PARAGRAPH
THIS VERSION SUPERSEDES ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS AND RUNS ON ALL 5-SERIES
MONITORS.  THERE ARE NO KNOWN DEFICIENCIES.

2.##EXTERNAL CHANGES
.PARAGRAPH
THE OUTPUT HAS BEEN COMPACTED WITH A SINGLE TITLE LINE AND THE
NUMBERS ARRANGED IN COLUMNS.  THE COLUMNS ARE RIGHT ADJUSTED
FOR EASE OF READING.  THE RESERVED QUOTA IS NOT LISTED SINCE
IT IS NOT IMPLEMENTED IN THE SYSTEM.  NEW COLUMNS OF USED,
FREE FCFS AND FREE LOGGED OUT ARE GIVEN SINCE THE USER USUALLY
WANTS TO KNOW HOW CLOSE TO HIS QUOTA HE IS RATHER THAN THE QUOTA
ITSELF.  WHEN THE QUOTAS ARE INFINITE OR THE MONITOR TABLES ARE
GUARANTEED MEANINGLESS (E.G., [1,2]), THE OUTPUT IS BLANK RATHER
THAN HUGE NUMBERS.  THE SYSTEM SPACE IS DISPLAYED ON
THE SAME LINE WITH THE USER'S INFORMATION.  THE SYSTEM SPACE FOR
STRUCTURES WHICH ARE NOT IN THE USER'S LIST ARE OMITTED. THESE
ARE AVAILABLE BY RUNNING SYSTAT/F.

3.##INTERNAL CHANGES

MFD PPN IS USED RATHER THAN [1,1].
