This is to officially release updated versions of the
ever popular PPS utilities.  PBEXTRACT, PBREDUCE, & PBFORM
have been substantially changed.  Therefore, please check
your generated output even if you do not use any of the
new features.

	Speaking of features, new additions are documented
in PBUTIL.DOC as well as in the HELP features of the utilities.

	For final information, a new PPS account has also
been established on Charm, so accounts there need not maintain
their own versions.

	As always, these utilities (and documentation) are
located in directory:
		sys$userdisk:[PPS.UTILITIES]
