NAME

       pmerge - pascal file merger

SYNOPSIS

       pmerge name.p ...

DESCRIPTION

       Pmerge assembles the named Pascal files into a single standard Pascal program.  The resulting program is listed on the standard output.	It
       is intended to be used to merge a collection of separately compiled modules so that they can be run through  pi	,  or  exported  to  other
       sites.

FILES

       /usr/tmp/MG*   default temporary files

SEE ALSO

BUGS

       Very  minimal  error checking is done, so incorrect programs will produce unpredictable results.  Block comments should be placed after the
       keyword to which they refer or they are likely to end up in bizarre places.

NAME

       px - Pascal interpreter

SYNOPSIS

       px [ obj [ argument ... ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       Px  interprets the abstract machine code generated by pi.  The first argument is the file to be interpreted, and defaults to obj; remaining
       arguments are available to the Pascal program using the built-ins argv and argc.  Px is also invoked by pix when running `load and go'.

       If the program terminates abnormally an error message and a control flow backtrace are printed.	The  number  of  statements  executed  and
       total  execution  time  are  printed after normal termination.  The p option of pi suppresses all of this except the message indicating the
       cause of abnormal termination.

FILES

       obj		   default object file
       pmon.out 	   profile data file

DIAGNOSTICS

       Most run-time error messages are self-explanatory.  Some of the more unusual ones are:

       Reference to an inactive file
	     A file other than input or output was used before a call to reset or rewrite.

       Statement count limit exceeded
	     The limit of 500,000 executed statements (which prevents excessive looping or recursion) has been exceeded.

       Bad data found on integer read
       Bad data found on real read
	     Usually, non-numeric input was found for a number.  For reals, Pascal requires digits before and after the decimal point so that num-
	     bers like `.1' or `21.' evoke the second diagnostic.

       panic: Some message
	     Indicates	a  internal  inconsistency  detected in px probably due to a Pascal system bug.  Charles B. Haley, William N. Joy, and Ken
	     Thompson

BUGS

       Calls to the procedures dispose and linelimit are ignored.

       Post-mortem traceback is not limited; infinite recursion leads to almost infinite traceback.

       Because interrupts sometimes find the system in the middle of a procedure or function entry or exit, the error backtrace on an interrupt is
       occasionally meaningless.  The current line is, however, always correct; only the call backtrace and the name of the current routine may be
       lost.
