			DECOM
			-----

DECOM is a SIMULA SAFMIN subclass designed for
interpretation of "standard" DEC command format:

outspec/switch1/switch2....=inspec/switch3/switch4...


Included procedures:
--------------------

DECCOM for initial separation of the input command
and opening of the files.

INTSWITCH for interpreting switch giving integer value.

BOOLSWITCH for interpreting switch giving boolean value.

ILLEGALSWITCH for finding if there are any uninterpretable
switches.

The DECCOM procedure helps interpreting a DEC standard file
command.

The CREATEFILES procedure is used to create the file
objects for the input and and output files.


Parameters to DECOM:

(I)	COMMAND		The string to be interpreted
(O)	OHEAD		Output file specifications
(O)	IHEAD		Input file specifications

Parameters to CREATEFILES:

(IO)	OHEAD		Output file specifications
(IO)	IHEAD		Input file specifications
(I)	OEXTENSION	Default extension for output file name
(I)	IEXTENSION	Default extension for input file name
			(Extension is only set if file spec lacks extension)
[O]	OFILE		Outfile object reference
[O]	IFILE		Infile object reference

Global data in the class DECOM:

(O)	SWARRAY    	TEXT ARRAY [1:LIMIT] saving switch values
(I)	LIMIT		Maximum number of  switches
(O)	NSWOUT		Number of received switch values on the output side
(O)	NSWIN		Ditto input side

Format of COMMAND:

<command>::= [<outpart>] <inpart>
<outpart>::= [<spec>] =
<spec>:= [<filespec>] [/<switches>]
<filespec>::= [<device>:] filename [ . [ext] ]
<switches>::= <switches> / <switch> | <switch>
<switch>::= <anything not containing '=' or '/'>

The <spec> for the <outpart> will be returned through OHEAD,
and through IHEAD for the <inpart>.

The switches on the outpart side will be stored in the array
SWARRAY[1:NSWOUT] and those on the inside side in the
elements [NSWOUT+1,NSWOUT+NSWIN].

I.e.
A/B=C/D/E
will return
OHEAD = "A"
IHEAD = "C"
SWARRAY [1] = "B"
	[2] = "D"
	[3] = "E"
NSWOUT = 1
NSWIN  = 2

If the number of switches exceeds LIMIT a warning message is issued and
the rest of the switches will be ignored.
Note that the unused SWARRAY elements will NOT be set to NOTEXT.

CREATEFILES will assert that OHEAD and IHEAD
are legal output and input file specifications respectively.
References to the files will be returned through OFILE and IFILE.

PROCEDURE INTSWITCH(id,result,default,okay,errmess,help)
Intswitch should be called after the call to DECCOM,
once for each allowed switch returning integer result. Parameters:

(I)     ID               User name of the switch (without /)
(O)     RESULT           Integer where switchvalue is returned
(I)     DEFAULT          Text containing default value, to be
			 used if switch is not given by the user
(I)     OKAY             Boolean condition, TRUE for valid results
(I)     ERRMESS          Message to be given if OKAY is FALSE
(I)     HELP             Boolean expression giving help message.

BOOLEAN PROCEDURE BOOLSWITCH(id,okay,errmess,help)
Boolswitch should be called after the call to deccom,
once for each allowed switch returning boolean result. The
parameters are a subset of the parameters for intswitch(see above).
Boolswitch returns TRUE if the switch is present, false if it is not
present. Okay is the condition under which a TRUE result is legal.

BOOLEAN PROCEDURE ILLEGALSWITCH(errmess,help)
This should be called after all legal switches have been interpreted.
Will give an error message for each duplicate switch or switch
which has not been interpreted, and will return TRUE
if there was any such switch.
Help is called if the illegal switch is /H or /HE or /HEL or /HELP.
