                          Index to SYSDOC files
                          ---------------------

The SYSDOC directory contains a collection of miscellaneous notes and
documentation about the Poplog system, aimed primarily at the system
development team. This file provides an index to the files: new
additions to the directory should have a short description of their
contents added here. The files can be accessed with the <enter> sysdoc
command or -sysdoc- macro in the same way as HELP, TEACH etc. files.
