1*2836Swnj@(#)how_pix	1.1 (Berkeley) 03/02/81
2*2836SwnjTo translate and execute a program with pix, place the source in a file
3*2836Swnjwhose name ends in the characters ".p", i.e. "prog.p".  The command
4*2836Swnj	pix prog.p
5*2836Swnjwill translate the program into interpreter code which will be then be executed
6*2836SwnjIf there are compilation errors `E', then execution will be suppressed.
7*2836SwnjTo create a permanent "obj" file which you can interpret, use "pi".
8*2836SwnjType "pi" for basic information on pi.
9*2836Swnj
10*2836SwnjThe complete command line syntax for pix is
11*2836Swnj	pix [ -blnpstuw ] [ -i file ... ] name.p [ arg ... ]
12*2836SwnjHere the trailing arguments are passed to your Pascal program.
13*2836SwnjThis command is equivalent to
14*2836Swnj	pi [ -blnpstuw ] [ -i file ... ] name.p
15*2836Swnjand then
16*2836Swnj	px scratch [ arg ... ]
17*2836Swnjwhere scratch is a temporary file which is then removed.
18*2836Swnj
19*2836SwnjThe command "man pi" will give information as to the options of pix.
20*2836SwnjRefer to the UNIX Pascal User's Manual for more details.
