Thank you for purchasing the COMPAS Pascal package. We are confident that you
will find COMPAS to be a high quality product. Before moving on, please read
the License Agreement enclosed to the package, and then fill in and return the
accompanying registration form.

You will find the following files on your distribution disk:

README.DOC      The file you are currently reading.

COMPAS.COM      This file is the actual COMPAS Pascal system. It contains the
                editor, the compiler and the run-time package.

COMPAS.HLP      The help message file. This file contains the help messages
                displayed by the HELP command.

COMPAS.ERM      The error message file. This file contains the error messages
                displayed by the compiler when it locates an error.

INSTALL.COM     The INSTALL program. If you have bought an "unconfigured" copy
                of COMPAS, i.e. a copy which is not set up for any specific
                terminal or computer system, then before you can use it, you
                must install it using this program. If you try to run an un-
                configured copy, you will simply get an error message. The
                INSTALL program is fully self-explaining, but to answer the
                questions asked by it you will probably have to consult your
                system documentation. If you wish, you may also use INSTALL
                to customize an already installed copy to suit your individual
                needs.

INSTALL.TRM     Datafiles used by INSTALL. These files contain configuration
INSTALL.DAT     data for up to 50 different terminals and computers. Note that
                INSTALL will not run if these files are missing.

INSTALL.PAS     INSTALL program source text. INSTALL is written entirely in
INSTCRT.PAS     COMPAS Pascal.

CALC.PAS        Demonstration program source text. This program acts as a cal-
                culator. It allows you to enter numeric expressions and have
                them evaluated.

HEXDUMP.PAS     Demonstration program source text. HEXDUMP will output a hex
                listing of any file to any other file or the printer.

PRIMES.PAS      Demonstration program source text. A short program which com-
                putes all prime numbers between 1 and 30000.

QSORT.PAS       Demonstration program source text. QSORT generates a list of
                random numbers and then sorts them using the quicksort algo-
                rithm.

CROSSREF.PAS    Demonstration program source text. CROSSREF outputs a listing
                and a cross-reference map of any COMPAS source text.

Before using COMPAS, we strongly advice that you make a back-up copy of this
disk. To generate a COMPAS work disk, copy COMPAS.COM, COMPAS.HLP and
COMPAS.ERM onto a blank disk along with any other system programs you may
require (e.g. PIP.COM and STAT.COM). If you are stressed for disk space, you
may omit COMPAS.HLP and COMPAS.ERM, but then the HELP command will not work
and the compiler will only output error numbers.

Finally, if you have any comments to the COMPAS package and/or its documenta-
tion, e.g. improvements you would like to see, or bugs you may have spotted,
