When you install VTS, a number of supplemental utilities and applications are installed along with the VTS software. Many of these utilities are VTS applications that must be added to the VTS Application Manager (or VAM) to run (see Adding Existing Applications to the VAM). Others are executable files that must be run from the directory in which they exist. Of these supplemental applications and utilities, many are used by VTS programmers, while others can be useful to both VTS developers and VTS programmers. The table below identifies the utility, its location, a brief synopsis of its purpose, whether it is intended for VTS programmers (P) or VTS developers (D), and where detailed instructions on the utility or application can be found.
