                 'Pcl'  is  a  shell file that invokes the Primos Pascal com-
          |      piler and the Primos segmented loader.  If 'pcl' is  invoked
          |      with  no <program name> argument, it automatically processes
          |      the last program edited, since it shares the shell  variable
          |      'f'  with  the  shell  program  'e'.   The  name of the file
                 containing the program to be compiled must  end  with  ".p",
                 although  in  <program name>  it  may  be  specified with or
                 without the ending ".p".  If no output file is specified  in
                 the  <'ld' options>,  the  output  object  file name will be
                 <program name> with no extension.

                 Concerning  the  options,  'pc'  will  be  called  with  the
                 <'pc' options> specified on the command line; then 'ld' will
                 be called with the <'ld' options> specified.
