                     29: .I GetSimpleCredsAndVerifier
                     30: determines the user name and simple verifier by
                     31: calling
                     32: .I getXNSuser
                     33: and then creates the appropriate simple credentials and verifier returning 
                     34: them in the areas pointed to by the arguments
                     35: .I credentials

                     38: .I GetSimpleCredsAndVerifier
                     39: also returns the user Clearinghouse name in the area and the ascii form of 
                     40: the simple verifier in the area pointed to by
                     41: .I name

                     45: .I xnscreds
                     46: which sets the appropriate environment variables for

                     52: .I MakeSimpleCredsAndVerifier
                     53: creates a set of Authentication credentials and verifier of type simple from
                     54: the user name (in Clearinghouse 3-part format) and password supplied in the 
                     55: arguments
                     56: .I name
                     57: and 
                     58: .IR pwd .
                     59: The created credentials and verifier are returned in the areas pointed to by
                     60: the arguments
                     61: .I credentials
