COMMAND Revision Date: 1 September 80 System Version: 002 These routines are written to allow a user to easily inter- face a FORTRAN program with the MCR command line input routines. This allows users control of their tasks through command line inputs and subsequently the power of using the indirect command line processor. The routines consist of TECO macros which act as a com- piler on a syntax file (.SYN). From this syntax file, COMMAND generates a FORTRAN common block for the command parameters (.DTB), a MACRO routine which does the actual parsing (.MAC) and a command file to assemble the parsing routine and clean up the files (.CMD). There are also a set of MACRO-11 macros to perform basic parameter manipulations during the parsing process. These routines were created under the combined influence of the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State Univer- sity and the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Further documentation is found in COMMAND.DOC. Any problems or suggestions should be directed to: Marvin Brown NCAR P.O. Box 3000 Boulder, CO 80307 Phone (303)497-0681 FTS 322-7681
