        This package implements the FLECS  FORTRAN  pre-processor  as  a
        PDS-type command of the following format:

           FLEcs/qualifiers filespec
                /FORTRAN[:fortranfile]
                /NOFORTRAN
                /KEEP
                /NOKEEP 
                /LIST[:listfile]
                /NOLIST
                /OBJECT[:objectfile]
                /NOOBJECT
                /RUN
                /NORUN
                /SWITCHES:(/switchlist)
                /TASK[:taskfile]
                /NOTASK


        The package implements two system  tasks,  the  FLECS  processor
        itself  (installed  as  system  task  ...FLE)  and  the  command
        processor (installed as system task $$$FLE).   As  written,  the
        command  processor  expects to be used with IAS V3.0 time-shared
        systems, i.e.  it  makes  use  of  TCS  facilities.   It  could,
        however,  be  adapted  to run with PDX by replacing the calls to
        the subtasking interface with appropriate task  spawning.   Like
        PDS,  the  FLECS command processor also expects to find a FORTAN
        compiler installed as task ...FOR and a task  builder  installed
        as task ...TKB.
		Movement to RSX11M or VMS should be simple.
