- DESCRIPTION
-

-
- You can stop it by sending it a CTRL_C signal.
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- To install, unpack the archive, and

- run vmsalert
-
- You can test proper operation with the testalert program. It takes
- a single parameter, an unsigned long number in hex or decimal
- notation (anything a standard strtoul can digest).

- KNOWN BUGS

- As of version 1.8, you get 8 Enforcer hits with deadend alerts. As

-
- The stack and register dump format is not perfect yet.
