[301,053] MIAMI 81 HLP - CONVERTS DEC'S HELP (PART OF HELLO) INTO FORTRAN-CALLABLE SUBROUTINE Base level: Version JN3.2B Date: 07-MAY-81 Patch level: None Date: Submitted by: Jim Neeland Hughes Research Labs 3011 Malibu Canyon Rd. Malibu, CA 90265 phone: (213) 456-6411 Description: A SLP file to convert DEC's copyrighted HELLO distributed source into a FORTRAN-callable subroutine to read and display standard-formatted .HLP files (see MCR OPERATIONS MANUAL under HELLO for format, or read comments in MACRO source code.) Also included are a sample/test FORTRAN program, along with a little utility subroutine to cancel control-O's (in case terminal was attached by main program). Note: This SLP file also incorporates Jim Downward's HELP file enhance- ment to provide text output when there has been no keyword match. Format is: # alone in column 1, followed on succeeding lines by desired text. See sample TEST.HLP file. System reqts: Approx. 1K words for the subroutine. Documentation: DEC's source comments, plus well-commented SLP input. Note that the SLP input has explicit audit comments, rather than inserted by SLP. This is to allow 'audit' information in column 72-80, which cannot be done by SLP when existing lines have information beyond 72. This is a bug in SLP which has been fixed but for which the patch has not been published. Status: More or less finished product. The resulting subroutine has been incorporated into a major program, thus eliminating large amounts of HELP information in the form of FORMAT statements. Desired enhancements: None I can think of at the moment. Support: The author welcomes comments & suggestions, but does not guarantee to fix anything.
