- You will have to do (A), but not (B). The GUI stuff is NOT required
- at all. The command-line compiler and make utility combination works
- every bit as well as the GUI.
-
- That said, the SCOPTIONS file (which contains compiler command-line
- options in ASCII-readable format) is a useful addition to the
- traditional CLI method, and the GUI program for reading and setting
- these options *is* convenient, even for CLI users. If you know the
- option you want to set, for example OPTIMIZE to turn on the
- optimizers, just type
-
- SCOPTS OPTIMIZE or SCOPTS OPT
-
- and it gets added to your SCOPTIONS file. You can turn previously-
- specified options off as well as adding new options:
-
- SCOPTS NOOPTIMIZE or SCOPTS NOOPT
-
- will remove the previously-specified OPTIMIZE option. If you don't
- know the options, just invoke SCOPTS with no options, and the GUI
- pops up, with gadgets for each compiler option. Place the mouse
- cursor over a gadget and hit HELP, and you get information on
- the corresponding option.
-
- There is a section in our manual that tells you how to convert
- Aztec C options to SAS/C V6.0 options. That might help a bit...
- also, I have put a Un*x-like front-end to the V6 stuff out as
- freely redistributable software, with source. It's called
- ucc.lzh. Using this would mean you wouldn't have to change your
- basic -c, -o, -g and -i options, along with a couple of others.

- That's really up to the marketing folks, but there are no plans that I
- know of to withdraw the offer.
