	WATCHDOG is a program which monitors an interactive process for
	inactivity, a process is logged out after a defined interval. An
	inactive process is indicated by no change in CPU time and no
	buffered I/O count within a defined interval.  Messages will be
	sent to the inactive process at a defined interval until the
	maximum inactive time limit is reached, a final message is sent
	to the user and a optional message is sent to the central
	operator notifying that a user has being stopped.  Other
	options are ignoring a group of users.  Many of the options
	exist and are documented.  At worst case you should enjoy
	the comments made by the developer.

	Changes and Improvements:
		Totally rewritten in VAX/VMS Macro.
		User May be Logged Off Two Different Fashion.
		Support of Virtual Terminal Driver's Disconnect Function.
		Special Exceptions on the basis of Username, Account,
                        Identifier, UIC or Terminal (wildcards may be
                        used), Exceptions allow special users have
                        their own Start/Stop values as well as Options.
                Default System Wide Stop/Start values and Options.
