User Instructions

Mass linking object file program. Works with only one subroutine library, and files to be linked are selected manually from on-screen lists. Option to create new library with linked object or replace existing object files.

To use, enter the object and subroutine library information (and OUTPUT, if desired) and press (RETURN). The files in the library will appear on the screen; enter a non-blank character next to each to be linked and press (RETURN) to process.

If you accidentally select a file that is not in object format, a screen display will inform you; press (RETURN) to continue. At the conclusion of the program, the input screen will reappear. Any programs that did not link successfully will be highlighted on this screen.

Important: the tested version of SUPRLINK only worked correctly older versions of the LINKER.

Programmer Instructions

Interactive use only.

Example of use

A mass linkage utility that can be used to replace the link option of COMPILE. Lacks the polish and condensed listing available from COMPILE.

A summary report similar to the COMPILE utility would be nice. Needs GETPARMs!
