JRT Pascal  User's Guide     version 3.0         NOT FOR SALE   -118-



      8.   Linker


           The use of the linker is entirely optional.  It is used to merge
      a  Pascal  program  '.INT'  file  with  some  or  all of its external
      procedure/function '.INT' files.  It can process  procedures  written
      in assembler as well as Pascal.  To run the linker, enter:

                  EXEC LINKER


           The  linker  will  issue a prompt to the console for the program
      name.  After the main program has been processed, the  user  will  be
      prompted  to  select  which of the external procedures to merge.  The
      procedures referenced by this  program  will  be  listed  with  their
      identification  numbers  (1 to 63).  An asterisk indicates procedures
      selected.  Possible replies to the 'Procedure selection' message  are
      listed  below.   More  than  one  number  may  be  entered each time,
      separated by spaces.  Entering zero ends the interactive portion  and
      causes merge processing to begin.

                  reply       purpose
                  -----       --------
                  1 to 63     select this procedure
                  -63 to -1   de-select this procedure
                  100         select all procedures
                  -100        reset, select none
                  0           end selection, begin merge processing


           The  output  module file will have the same filename as the main
      program and a filetype of '.INT'.  The filetype of the  main  program
      will  be  renamed  to '.IN2'.  If any of the selected input procedure
      files are not present, a run-time error will  occur  and  the  linker
      will terminate.  All files must be present on the A: disk.
