                 'Cobcl'  is  a shell file that invokes the Primos Cobol com-
                 piler and the Primos segmented loader.  The program is  com-
          |      piled and linked in 64V mode.  If 'cobcl' is invoked with no
          |      <program name> argument, it automatically processes the last
          |      program  edited, since it shares the shell variable 'f' with
          |      the shell program 'e'.  The name of the file containing  the
                 program  to  be  compiled  must end with ".cob", although in
                 <program name> it may be specified with or without the  end-
                 ing  ".cob".   If  no  output file is specified in the <'ld'
                 options>, the output object file name will be <program name>
                 with no extension.

                 Concerning the options,  'Cobc'  will  be  called  with  the
                 <'cobc'  options>  specified  on the command line; then 'ld'
                 will be called with the <'ld' options> specified.
