.!	RUNNING THIS .RNH FILE THROUGH RUNOFF PRODUCES THE TOPS-10
.!	VERSION. TO GET THE TOPS-20 VERSION, USE "/VARIANT:TWENTY"
.!	IN THE COMMAND LINE TO RUNOFF.
.!
.!	WHEN ADDING TEXT, PUT ".IF TWENTY"/".ENDIF TWENTY" BRACKETS

The general command format is
*/Switches File spec /Switchs , /Switches File spec /Switches -
, /Switches File spec /Switches /GO

Lines may be continued by use of hyphen (minus sign) at end of line.
A File spec is in the form DEVICE:FILE.EXT[directory]
Output file specs may be separated from input ones by = ,
in which case they must be first on the line.

Switches take optional arguments, these are :
Keyword		a symbolic keyword
Symbol		a SIXBIT symbol name (in ASCII)
Value		in decimal (octal if preceded by #)
Value		in octal
Core size	in K (2000 words) or P (1000 words)
		as in nK or lK+hK
Version #	standard version number

Switches and keywords preceded by * are unique to  one character.
Switches enclosed in parentheses are switches known to SCAN but
not used by LINK.
