+ 
+This directory contains the source for the PL/M-VAX compiler and
+the command files necessary to build the compiler from scratch.
+(The UDI directory which contains the PLMRUN runtime library is
+also required during the LINK phase of the PL/M-VAX compiler build.)
+ 
+The source modules for the PL/M-VAX compiler are contained in the
+*.FOR and *.PLM files.
+ 
+LOGNAMES.COM is a command file containing logical name assignments
+used by other command files in this directory.  LOGNAMES.COM should
+be edited to reflect the directory names in use on your system.
+Any command file which makes use of system-dependent logical name
+assignments will contain a call to LOGNAMES.COM, so LOGNAMES.COM
+should be the only command file requiring editing.
+ 
+The PLM.BLD file is the command file for doing a complete rebuild
+of the PL/M-VAX compiler.
+ 
+PLM.CMP is a command file called by PLM.BLD to compile all the
+source modules of the PL/M-VAX compiler and place the object in
+library PLMCOM.OLB.
+ 
+PLM.LNK is a command file called by PLM.BLD to link the PL/M-VAX
+compiler into an executable image.  (PLM.LNK may be invoked by 
+itself whenever one or more source modules have been recompiled
+and PLMCOM.OLB has been updated.)
+ 
+PLM.EXE is the executable image of the PL/M-VAX compiler.
+ 
+COMLIST.COM and EXLIST.COM are handy command files for listing
+the source of the PL/M-VAX compiler.
+ 
+ERRFIND.COM is a command file used to search source files for
+calls to the error message routines.  (Requires the WYLBUR text
+editor.)
+ 
+MAKETAPE.COM is the command file used to write the contents of this
+directory to mag tape.
