Announcing version v2.2 of LLF so watch out, it may blow up. There are a great number of changes in this release mostly in order to complete the port to the Atari ST, and hopefully nothing much different than v2.1 (the one you've been using) as far as the VAX is concerned. Differences you might want to know about: The command line processor has been replaced and no longer uses callbacks to the VMS's CLI. This means that the command line interpreting may not be as robust as is used to be. It also means command qualifiers may be abbreviated to 1 character (no check for ambiguity is done). Commas between filenames are treated as white space so white space may substituted for commas. Multiple option files are allowed and they allow two new options: FILE (filename ...) LIBRARY (filename ...) There may any number of filenames specified in either of the commands separated by white space or commas. Specifying filenames in a FILE directive allows LLF to run slightly faster than forcing it to extract filenames from a library. I also should reiterate the points about constants expressed in an option file. They are interpreted as constants are in C, that is assumed to be decimal unless prefixed with a 0 which means octal or a 0x (or #) which means hex. Comments are delimited with a double dash (--) or exclamation point (!) and end-of-line. The C comment construct of /* and */ can also be used to comment text across multiple lines.
