NAME

       mbsc - the MBS compiler for varkon

SYNOPSIS

       mbsc source
            [-v]
            [-l]
            [-wn]
            [-hn]
            [-sn]
            [-pmn]

DESCRIPTION

       VARKON is a high level development tool for applications in the area of
       Engineering, Computer Aided Design and Product Modelling.

       The MBS compiler reads source lines frome MBS-files and produces binary
       modules in MBO-files.

OPTIONS

       source the name of one or more sourcefiles

       -v     report current version information and exit

       -l     create listfile

       -wn    use linewidth of n characters in listfile

       -hn    write n lines per page to listfile

       -sn    set module protection code to n

       -pmn   set PMSIZE to n bytes

FILES AND ENVIRONMENT

       mbsc needs the following environment parameter to be set up in order to
       function properly. If not defined a default value is used instead.

       VARKON_ERM = /usr/share/varkon/erm
              Errormessages (*.ERM)

BUGS

       Due to a bug the compiler will not report if the size of PM (PMSIZE) is
       too  small  to  hold the entire module. Instead it truncates the module
       and writes it to disc without notice.

AUTHORS

       The VARKON system was originally developed by a group at the University
       of Linkoping in Sweden during 1984-86 under the leadership of Dr. Johan
       Kjellander now the president of Microform AB. Since then the system has
       been owned, marketed and further developed by Microform AB.

       Subsequently  the license was changed to GNU General Public License and
       VARKON was  taken  over  by  the  CAD  research  group  of  the  Örebro
       University in Sweden.
