Both utilities are currently running under RSX11M 4.2D, however
we don't see a reason why they should not run under any RSX11M/M+
system.

SEARCH
------

Search is a utility to search for strings in 1 or more files.
Everything is written in assembler, using FCS.
Just by typing ...SRC you will get a prompt with enough HELP
explanation to tell you everything you want to know about how
to use it.

STRAP
-----

Strap is a utility that removes (almost) all comments from a
Macro-11 Source listing, thus generating a new file with is
considerably smaller.
Assembling this file, rather than the one with comments takes
considerably less time.


HOW TO BUILD THESE UTILITIES
----------------------------

Sources of both programs are supplied and must be
assembled as follows:


MAC SEARCH=SEARCH and
MAC STRAP=STRAP


Taskbuilding should be done using the supplied buildfiles.

Note that you might have to modify these buildfiles, depending
upon whether or not you use the resident FCS library.
