PIX(1)  —  USER COMMANDS

NAME

pix − Pascal translator and interpreter

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

Pix is a ‘load and go’ version of Pascal which combines the functions of the translator pi and the interpreter px. Pix uses pi to translate the program in the file name.p and, if there were no fatal errors during translation, calls px to execute the resulting interpretive code with the specified arguments.  A temporary file is used for the object code; the file obj is neither created nor destroyed. 

Options are as described under pi(1).
