# $Header$

This directory contains the sources of the EM interpreter. A parallel
 | 
						|
directory contains the manual page and the documentation.  Two types of
 | 
						|
interpreters can be generated.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Normal Version
 | 
						|
A call to  make  will result in the generation of an interpreter,  int.  This
 | 
						|
interpreter will do full checking and can do logging on request.  It is the
 | 
						|
normal interpreter to be used for software checking and grooming.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Fast Version
 | 
						|
If the interpreter is used for the purpose of running programs rather than for
 | 
						|
testing them, a considerably faster version can be generated by undefining the
 | 
						|
macro   LOGGING   in the include file   logging.h .  This interpreter will
 | 
						|
still give some warnings: about bad trap numbers, unimplemented system calls
 | 
						|
and the occurrence of traps.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There are a small number of compile-time flags, each in a separate file:
 | 
						|
	loggin.h	- distinguishes between normal and fast version
 | 
						|
	debug.h		- ignore
 | 
						|
	segcheck.h	- ignore
 | 
						|
	sysidf.h	- define the approrpiate system name
 | 
						|
	v7ioctl.h	- define if ioctl requests should conform to UNIX V7
 | 
						|
	nofloat.h	- define if the C compiler used has no floating point
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There are two subdirectories:
 | 
						|
	switch		- generates opcode-analysing switches
 | 
						|
	test		- contains testprograms
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Installation note:
 | 
						|
The file do_fpar.c (do floating point arithmetic) contains a macro  MAXDOUBLE
 | 
						|
which defines the largest possible double on the present machine. It is set to
 | 
						|
99.e999, which may not be acceptable to your compiler. Adjust as necessary.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Note:
 | 
						|
This interpreter assumes that the  char  in the C compiler used to translate
 | 
						|
the interpreter, is a signed char.  It is not impossible to adapt the
 | 
						|
interpreter to unsigned chars, but it is not trivial.
