^DESCRIPTION
.P
<DECREV IS AN INTERACTIVE PROGRAM WHICH PRODUCES A CAREFULLY FORMATTED
REVIEW OF A <DECUS LIBRARY PROGRAM.  ^THE OUTPUT FILE GENERATED FROM
THE DIALOG WITH THE REVIEWER IS A "<RUNOFF" FILE WHICH CAN BE DISTRIBUTED DIRECTLY TO
OTHER POTENTIAL USERS OF THE REVIEWED PROGRAM.  ^THE OUTPUT FILE CAN ALSO BE
USED TO PRODUCE DOCUMENTATION ABOUT THE PROGRAM STATUS.

^USER ^INSTRUCTIONS
.P
^THE USER SHOULD TYPE 
.I 8
&.<RU <DECREV
.BR
TO BEGIN USING THE PROGRAM.  ^THE PROGRAM IS ESSENTIALLY SELF-INSTRUCTING.
^PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INFORMATION ENTERED FROM THE TERMINAL IS WRITTEN
DIRECTLY INTO THE DISK FILE.  ^THIS MEANS THE USER CAN ENTER "<RUNOFF"<-LIKE
TEXT FORMATTING COMMANDS WITH HIS REPLIES TO THE "<DECREV" QUESTIONS.
^FOR THE MOST PART, THIS IS NOT DESIRABLE, SINCE THE PROGRAM OUTPUTS THE
QUESTIONS IN UPPER/LOWER CASE AND THE RESPONSES IN STRICTLY UPPER CASE,
SO NO FORMATTING OF USER RESPONSE SHOULD BE ATTEMPTED.
^NOTE THAT TYPING ERRORS WHICH ARE MADE WHEN INPUTTING AN INDIVIDUAL
LINE MAY BE CORRECTED BY EITHER USING THE _<<CNTL-U> TO ERASE THE WHOLE LINE
SO IT CAN BE RETYPED OR BY USING ENOUGH <RUBOUT<S TO ELIMINATE THE OFFENDING
CHARACTER FOR RETYPING.  ^AFTER THE _<<CR-LF> IS TYPED, HOWEVER,
THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT AN ERROR IS TO COMPLETE THE INPUTTING OF THE REVIEW AND
THEN GO BACK AND EDIT THE RUNOFF FILE CREATED USING ONE OF THE STANDARD TEXT
EDITORS (E.G. <TECO).

^AVOID ACCIDENTALLY PUTTING A "." AS THE FIRST CHARACTER ON A LINE, SINCE THIS
WILL CONFUSE "<RUNOFF" WHEN THE <"DECREV" OUTPUT FILE IS
PROCESSED LATER.

^THE PROGRAM ACCEPTS THE NUMBER OF THE PROGRAM BEING REVIEWED (DEFAULT
<DEC COMPUTER SYSTEM IS THE <DEC<SYSTEM-10), THEN CREATES THE FILE
<DECNNN.RNO, WHERE NNN IS THE NUMBER OF THE PROGRAM BEING REVIEWED.

FILE BY <DECREV UNTIL THE REVIEW IS COMPLETED.  THE FILE <DECNNN.RNO
CAN BE EDITED WITH STANDARD TEXT EDITORS TO ADD, EDIT, OR DELETE INFORMATION
GIVEN TO THE REVIEWING PROGRAM, <DECREV.
