Welcome to Erskine College RASCAL V0.0-00

Be sure you know the introductory material in volumes I - IX of the RASCAL
documentation.  Pay particular attention to sections K - Q  of chapter 38,
pages 852 - 1,921.  You should memorize the material in volumes XII - XIV.
The information in volumes XXI - XXXIV will not be needed until next week.

Note:

The RASCAL "compiler" performs 256 passes on your source code.  This turns
the  source  code  of your program into compact psuedo-code.  For example,
after one pass, the following program requires 1,042 blocks of storage for
the pseudo-code.  After the 256th pass, the  pseudo-code  needs  only  168
blocks.  Here is the program:

	START HERE//@
	ASSIGN THE VALUE *2* TO THE VARIABLE :A://@
	ASSIGN THE VALUE *2* TO THE VARIABLE :B://@
	ACCUMULATE THE SUM OF THE VARIABLE :A: AND THE VARIABLE :B://@
	REVEAL ACCUMULATED SUM//@
	STOP//@
	QUIT//@
	END//@
	GOBACK *1* INSTRUCTION PLEASE//@
<pause>

Note also that since the RASCAL run-time system takes 27K words, user pro-
grams must not exceed 4K words.   This can be easily accomplished by using
no more than four variables in any one program. Programs over 8 or 9 lines
usually do not compile anyway.

RASCAL requires a new disk directory structure and must DELETE all disk
files currently in your account.  Please wait...
