VAX system managers are usually bothered by numerous phone calls from users
who have either ignored or forgotten to change their password when they
receive the:

"WARNING - Your password has expired; update immediately with SET PASSWORD!"

message when they log in.

This is fixed in VMS V5 which, by default, throws the user into SET PASSWORD
when they log in if their password(s) are expired.

Unfortunately:
	1) We do not have VMS V5 installed.
	2) We are getting many phone calls today.

To fix this problem, I've created a program which emulates this V5 feature.

When executed at login time via SYLOGIN.COM, the program will see if the UAF
for the username running the program has any expired passwords.  If so, the
user will be automatically forced into SET PASSWORD, and will rerun SET PASSWORD
until the user has made a successful password change.

Primary, secondary, and generated passwords are automatically handled.

An explanatory help screen is always displayed prior to running SET PASSWORD.

Additionally, both CTRL/C and CTRL/Y are disabled while running the program, to
ensure that the user MUST change their expired password(s).

The program requires no privileges in order to execute (although INSTALLing it
/OPEN/HEADER/SHARE is recommended for performance reasons).

It requires VMS V4.4 (or later), so that the $GETUAI system service is
available.
