Vector Pascal Compiler         
                    
Usage: vpc srcname [options] [non pascal files]        
	- srcname should not include the .pas extension        
	- output will be in an executable srcname.exe for Windows or        
	  simply srcname for Linux        
                    
Non Pascal files        
	you can supply a list of .a, .o, .s or .c files that        
	are to be compiled and linked with your program        
	this is typically done to give a Pascal program access        
	to libraries written in another language        
 Options for user programs        
-A<asmfile>     Allows you to specify the assembler file name used        
-apu<digit><name>        
		specifies what code generator is to be used for         
		auxilliary processor n, eg:        
		-apu0SonyVPU0 -apu1SonyVPU1        
		You can specify that particular Pascal Units        
		in your program are to be targeted to particular        
		auxilliary processors. This feature is not fully        
		debugged yet. If several apus are listed on the        
		command line they must be in ascending order of APU number        
          		        
-BOEHM		        
		link with the BOEHM garbage collector which must        
		be installed in your gcc linkage path        
-NOBOEHM       	default        
-cpu<NAME>      specifies the code generator to be used in compiling        
		code. Default is Pentium, other available <NAME>s include        
		K6 - AMD Athlon using NASM        
		Opteron - AMD 64 bit architecture using gas        
               P3 - Intel P3 using NASM        
	        P4 - Intel P4 using NASM        
               IA32 - Intel 486 using NASM        
               gnuPentium, gnu486 intel processors but using gas assembler        
		EE - for Sony PS2 Emotion Engine ( cross compiler )        
		NIOS - Altera NIOS ( cross compiler )        
-NOVPWORDS     Allows Vector Pascal reserved words that do not occur in Turbo 
               or in Extended Pascal to be used as identifiers 
-D<symbol>      Define compiler pre-processor flag for conditional compilation        
-fcoff		Get assembler to generate coff output        
-felf		Get assembler to generate elf output        
-gnu		generate assembler using the gnu Pentium assembler        
                    
?        
-h        
-help        
--h        
--help		print this text        
-inter		generate an intermediate ilc file for the syntax tree        
          -L        
-L<digit>	Output a Latex listing of the program with variable levels        
		of detail included        
-nobalance	switches off cannonical re-ordering of expression trees        
-nolink        switdches off linking so that a .o file is generated 
-o<filename>    Specifies the name of the object file generated by         
		the assembler pass	        
-opt<digit>	select an optimisation level from 0 to 3, default is 1        
-S		Generate an assembler output but do not assemble or link        
-T		Run in training mode, do not load any of the pre-learned        
		code generation tactics stored in the .vwu file        
-U		Generate underlines as prefix for external symbols to the        
                linker        
Compiler development options        
-V		switch on verbose mode for entire compilation        
-switchon<number>           
		switch on verbose mode whilst generate src line <number>        
-switchon<nuber>..<number>         
		switch on verbose mode between range of lines        
                in source when code generating code        
-cputest	do not compile a program but send test patterns        
		to the code generator to test what arithmetic        
		operations it can do and print the result to        
		the standard output
