The program is Vacation and is very easy to use if your provider has it
installed. Type man vacation at the unix prompt for instructions.

A "vocation" is a job or calling.  I think you're really wanting
"vacation" (with an "a"), meaning "holiday"...

Assuming you're using a UNIX based system "vacation" is _probably_
installed on it (it's pretty standard).  Try checking for a manual page by
giving the command:

	man vacation

If this doesn't show anything try asking your local HelpDesk staff; they
will know what software is installed on your computer systems, whereas
random people around the world (such as myself) don't.

Cheers,
