This is the file directory for user information

LSR1 LOCK is used by INQUIR to prevent more than one INQUPD from trying
|
|
to update the data base at once. The data base is locked when
|
|
LSR1 LOCK is open for writing.
|
|
|
|
LSR1 > is the most recent valid copy of the INQUIR data base.
|
|
Do not alter that file with anything but INQUIR unless you
|
|
know what you are doing.
|
|
LSR1 NEW is a new version being written.
|
|
LSR1 OLD and LSR1 OLDOLD are the next 2 older versions.
|
|
LSR1 2, if it exists, means that an INQUPD crashed while renaming
|
|
versions.
|
|
However, the situation is under control and will be cleaned up
|
|
automatically by INQUPD the next time it runs.
|
|
|
|
.UPD1. and .UPD1$ files are updates sent by INQUIR, but not yet stuck
|
|
into the LSR1 file.
|
|
|
|
INQUIR UPDATE is an archive of all the INQUIR updates done. WHen it
|
|
gets large, rename it to OUPDAT >. Only a few months of OUPDAT
|
|
files need be kept around.
|
|
|
|
ULIST > files are output from the INQUIR command ULIST. It is OK
|
|
to delete them if they are more than a few days old, since they are
|
|
easy to regenerate.
|
|
|
|
SETMSN is a program run by the default .DDT. (INIT) file. It
|
|
sets the user's msname according to the FILE DIRECTORIES item in his
|
|
INQUIR entry.
