.autopar
 XLATE is a program used to analyze and pre-process the data from
the TRACE format files produced by TRACK.  It has a very simple
dialogue, and produces up to two output files:  an ASCII file
with summaries of the TRACK data, and a PLOT file, for use with
the XLPLOT utility.

.hl1 DIALOGUE
 When running XLATE, it is necessary the the file NAMES.TRK
be accessible to the directory from which XLATE is being run.
All file specification inputting is done via FORTRAN DIALOG
mode, meaning that the  input is terminated with an altmode or
escape character.
.hl2 INPUT FILENAME
 The default here is TRACK.TRC; this is the file produced
by  TRACK when the /FORMAT:TRACE switch was given in SYSTEM
mode.
.hl2 OUTPUT FILENAME
 This is the file that gets the ASCII formatted information on
the statistics gathered from TRACK.  Answering NUL: will
get rid of this output.
.hl2 PLOTTING FILENAME
 This is the file which XLPLOT will read for input, to produce
printer and terminal plots of the data. It is an ASCII file as
well, and can therefore be read to look at the data (although
the format is somewhate specialized).
.hl2 COMMENTS
 Up to 40 characters of identifying information can be typed here.
This will appear on both of the output files.  In addition, XLPLOT
will use this information to label the plots (along with any comments
supplied to XLPLOT directly.

.hl1 BUILDING XLATE
 XLATE is a FORTRAN-10 program, using an included file
named XLATE.COM, and a library of MACRO subroutines named
LIBFOR.
