1.0  COMPILATION COMMAND

PASCAL command string to compile one or more source files:

        @PASCAL
        PASCAL>srcfile1+srcfile2+srcfile3.../switch/switch...

Multiple source files in a compilation command  act  as  if  all  source
files were appended together prior to the beginning of the compilation.

/BINARY or              *       Produce an object file
/BINARY:objfile
/CHECK                          Generate runtime range-checking code
/CREF or                        Generate a cross reference listing

/NOABORT                *       Do not exit compiler after this compilation
                                even if fatal errors occurred
/NOBINARY                       Do not produce an object file
/NOCHECK                *       Suppress runtime range-checking code
/NOCREF or              *       Suppress cross reference listing

/WARNINGS               *       Display warning messages

The /CROSS-REFERENCE and /MACHINE-CODE  switches  imply  /LISTING.   The
/NOLISTING switch implies /NOCROSS-REFERENCE and /NOMACHINE-CODE.

The default device is DSK:  for all filespecs in a compilation command.

The name of the last source file is used as  the  default  name  of  the
object and listing files.

The default extension is .PAS  for  the  source  file(s).   The  default
extension  is  .REL  for the object file.  The default extension is .LST
for the listing file.
