.HL1 SUMMARY
^VERSION 22^C IS A MAINTENANCE RELEASE OF ^^COMPIL\\. ^VERSION 22^C IS
MORE RELIABLE AS IT INCORPORATES ALL FIXES
MADE IN RESPONSE TO ^^SPR\\'S RECIEVED THROUGH ^JULY 14, 1976.
^IN ADDITION, A NEW SWITCH HAS BEEN ADDED.
.B1
^VERSION 22^C OF ^^COMPIL \\SUPERCEDES ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS AND
WILL RUN ON ALL SUPPORTED MONITORS.
.HL1 EXTERNAL CHANGES
.b2
.HL2 ^EDIT ^TYPE ^COMMANDS
^IN VERSION 22^B OF ^^COMPIL\\, IF AN EDIT TYPE COMMAND WAS
TYPED WITH NO ARGUMENT, AND NO PREVIOUS EDIT TYPE COMMAND HAD
BEEN TYPED, THE EDITOR WAS SIMPLY RUN.  ^THIS IS INCONSISTANT
WITH THE BEHAVIOR OF OTHER ^^CCL\\ CLASS COMMANDS.  ^EDIT _#273 MAKES
THE BEHAVIOR CONSISTANT SUCH THAT EDIT TYPE COMMANDS NOW BEHAVE
THE SAME AS OTHER ^^CCL\\ CLASS COMMANDS.  ^FOR EXAMPLE, IF NO PREVIOUS
EDIT TYPE COMMAND HAS BEEN TYPED AND ONE TYPES:
.B1.I5
_.^^TECO<CR>
.B1
\\THE FOLLOWING ERROR WILL NOW BE GENERATED:
.B1.I5
^^?CMLNPC N\\O PREVIOUS COMMAND^^
.HL2 ^NEW ^FEATURES
^THE ONLY NEW FEATURE IN ^^COMPIL\\ VERSION 22^C, IS THE
^^/DLIST \\OR ^^/DL \\SWITCH. ^THIS FEATURE NO LONGER MAKES A CHECK
FOR SPOOLED OR UNSPOOLED USERS. ^WITH THE ^^/LIST (/L) \\SWITCH,
THE SPECIFIC DEVICE ^^LPT: \\WILL BE ADDED TO THE TEMP CORE
SPECIFICATION. ^THE ^^/DLIST (/DL) \\SWITCH WON'T SPECIFY ANY
DEVICE AND A DISK FILE WILL BE GENERATED.
.pg
.HL2 ^^FORDDT\\
^^FORDDT\\ IS NOW THE DEFAULT DEBUGGING AIDE FOR ^^FORTRAN\\.
^IT IS FELT THAT IF A PRODUCT HAS A SPECIFIC DEBUGGING AIDE,
THE ^^DEBUG\\ COMMAND SHOULD CAUSE THAT AIDE TO BE LOADED
WITH THE PROGRAM RATHER THAN REGULAR ^^DDT\\.  ^IN THE CASE
OF ^^FORTRAN\\ HOWEVER, MANY USERS EXPRESSED THAT THEY OFTEN
PREFERRED TO USE REGULAR DDT FOR DEBUGGING ^^FORTRAN\\ PROGRAMS
AND FOR THIS REASON, ^^FORTRAN\\ PROGRAMS ARE LOADED WITH BOTH
REGULAR ^^DDT\\ AND ^^FORDDT\\. ^AFTER THEY ARE LOADED, ^^FORDDT\\
IS STARTED. ^IF THE USER WISHES TO ENTER REGULAR DDT, TYPING THE
COMMAND ^^DDT\\ TO ^^FORDDT\\ WILL CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN.
.B1
^IF THE USERS WANTS SPECIFICALLY TO LOAD A PROGRAM WITH A
DEBUGGING AIDE OTHER THAN THE DEFINED DEBUGGER, HE SIMPLY
PASSES THE SWITCH TO ^^LINK\\ AS FOLLOWS:
.B1.I5
^^_.LOAD FOO %"DEBUG:XXX"\\
.B1
WHERE ^^XXX\\ IS THE NAME OF THE DEBUGGING AIDE, AND ^^FOO\\ IS
THE NAME OF YOUR PROGRAM.
.HL2 ^REVISION ^HISTORY

THE LAST RELEASE OF ^^COMPIL\\ (VERSION 22^B, EDIT 236):
