Name

pix − Pascal interpreter and executor

Syntax

pix [−blnpstuwz] [−i name...] name.p [argument...]

Description

The pix command is a ‘load and go’ version of Pascal which combines the functions of the interpreter code translator pi and the executor px. It uses pi to translate the program in the file name.p and, if there were no fatal errors during translation, causes the resulting interpreter code to be executed by px with the specified arguments. A temporary file is used for the object code. The file obj is neither created nor destroyed.
