This is a complete revision of CCL a program originally written
by R. J. Kirkman and revised by J. Downward. The original may be found complete
with documentation on the KMS FUSION UIC [344,*] on the Fall '79.
and both '80 DECUS tapes. In addition an SLP file to patch the RSX-11M V3.2
exec. is necessary. This patch comes compliments of G. Thompson [307,21] from
the Fall '80 DECUS tape. It had 1 missing line which I inserted. The patch
may not be necessary for V4.0 users if the preliminary information about
the new flavor of spawning is correct.
The extra features added to CCL are foreward GOTO event multitasking
with event flag synchronization and parsing of statements by dividing
the parameters into before/after "=" segments. The addition of many extra
error messages, and a few debug features made an almost complete simulation
of DCL possible. Since DEC is now supporting DCL you may not need this,
but V3.2 users can use it. In addition a .CCL file with illustrations
of the new features is supplied. As well as a CCL.HLP file. In particular
the DCL form of FOR and LINK commands are supported and they may be intermixed
freely with the MCR command form. That is either FOR [/sw1/sw2...] filename
or FOR file1,file2=file3/sw1/sw2... may be used. A help file NEW.HLP
is included to detail the syntax generated by CCL.
This version has been at use at Bonner Lab at Rice University for
a while and should be quite bug free. If you need help or want a little
more information on it you may get me at. Bonner Nuclear Lab, Rice Univ.,
