.SH "NAME"
adlcomp \- compile an ADL program
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
adlcomp file [ \-o outfile ] [ \-idir ] [ \-tdir ] [ \-d ] [\-w ]
[ \-en ] [ \-gn ] [ \-mn ] [ \-nn ] [ \-pn ] [ \-rn ] [ \-sn ] [
\&\-vn ]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Adlcomp reads an \s-1ADL\s0 program from file and produces an
output file which contains the tables and interpretive code
necessary to play the game described by the program (using
\&\fIadlrun\fR\|(6)). Error messages are produced on the standard
error output, and a data summary is produced on the standard
output. The following options are available:
.IP "\-o outfile" 12
.IX Item "-o outfile"
The result of the compilation is saved in
outfile. The result is saved in adlcomp.out in
the current directory if this option is not
specified.
.IP "\-idir" 12
.IX Item "-idir"
\&\s-1INCLUDE\s0 files are searched for first in the
current directory, then in directories specified
by \-i dir options. Up to 4 \-i options may be
present.
.IP "\-tdir" 12
.IX Item "-tdir"
Adlcomp writes two temporary files in the
process of compilation. This option tells
adlcomp which directory (or disk, on those
systems which allow it) to use for these
temporary files. The default is \*(L"/tmp\*(R" on UN*X
operating systems, \*(L"\s-1RAM:\*(R"\s0 on the Amiga, and the
current directory on MS-DOS.
.IP "\-d" 12
.IX Item "-d"
Puts adlcomp into debugging mode. All symbols
are written out to outfile, and additional code
is produced which keeps track of the file name
and line number. \-d implies \-w.
.IP "\-w" 12
.IX Item "-w"
Suppress the printing of warning messages.
.IP "\-en" 12
.IX Item "-en"
Sets the maximum number of errors to n. The
default is \-1 (no maximum). If the number of
errors encountered is greater than n, adlcomp
aborts.
.IP "\-gn" 12
.IX Item "-gn"
Sets the maximum number of globals to n. The
default value is 64.
.IP "\-mn" 12
.IX Item "-mn"
Sets the maximum number of messages (strings
enclosed in double quotes) to n. The default
value is 1024.
.IP "\-nn" 12
.IX Item "-nn"
Sets the maximum number of NOUNs to n. The
default value is 256.
.IP "\-pn" 12
.IX Item "-pn"
Sets the maximum number of preposition synonyms
to n. The default value is 8.
.IP "\-rn" 12
.IX Item "-rn"
Sets the maximum number of routines to n. The
default value is 512.
.IP "\-sn" 12
.IX Item "-sn"
Sets the maximum number of verb phrases to n.
The default value is 8.
.IP "\-vn" 12
.IX Item "-vn"
Sets the maximum number of verbs to n. The
default value is 128.
.SH "CONFORMANCE"
.IX Header "CONFORMANCE"
This version of adlcomp has a 255\-character limit on
compile-time strings. It implements Pascal-like \s-1LOCAL\s0
variables.
.SH "EXAMPLE"
.IX Header "EXAMPLE"
