2To translate and execute a program with pix, place the source in a file
3whose name ends in the characters ".p", i.e. "prog.p".  The command
4	pix prog.p
5will translate the program into interpreter code which will be then be executed
6If there are compilation errors `E', then execution will be suppressed.
7To create a permanent "obj" file which you can interpret, use "pi".
8Type "pi" for basic information on pi.

10The complete command line syntax for pix is
11	pix [ -blnpstuw ] [ -i file ... ] name.p [ arg ... ]
12Here the trailing arguments are passed to your Pascal program.
13This command is equivalent to
14	pi [ -blnpstuw ] [ -i file ... ] name.p
15and then
16	px scratch [ arg ... ]
17where scratch is a temporary file which is then removed.

19The command "man pi" will give information as to the options of pix.
