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.
