File: [22,310]HELP.HLP            Last Edit: 9-MAY-1989 19:00:11 

This account contains sources for the Pascal-3 Utility Library P3UTIL.
If you make changes to an existing source or add a new one, be sure
to update this HELP.HLP file (in the change log section), and
also update P3UTIL.MOD as required.


The command file P3UTIL.CMD will build the P3UTIL library and externals.
It also servers as documentation on the build.  P3UTIL.MOD is used to
control the build, and serves as a listing of modules, entry points and
a brief description.

Test programs for the routines are in [22,311].  Externals are placed
in [22,320].  Documentation is in [22,45].

It appears we lost a source file.  SNICE.PAS - there was an EXT in [22,320],
but nothing in [22,310].  Anyway, I moved EXT over to [22,310] - in case
we need to replace the source.

The following files are transferred to the AMI MASTER SYSTEM DISK
for distribution:

[22,310]

  P3UTIL.OLB
  P3EXT.TSK
