- META.TXT Information about the META compile process
-
- PF is configured to make it easy to META compile the kernel. All
- you need to do is type the following at the DOS prompt:
-
- PMETA <enter>
-
- This will start a batch file that begins the meta compile process.
- PF will be loaded, and it will in turn load META86.SEQ which will
- compile the PF kernel. You will be prompted Yes or No on whether
- symbols should be displayed, press Y or N as you wish.
-
- The compile will take a minute or so, somewhat longer if labels are
- printed. A new file called PKERNEL.COM will be created in the current
- directory. If PKERNEL.COM already exists, it will be overwritten.
-
- Having completed the meta compile process, you can now extend the
- system to the full PF.EXE, by typing the batch file name:
-
- INSTALL <enter>
-
- PKERNEL.COM will be extended and installed for your current
- directory structure, allowing VIEW to work from any directory, and
- setting PF.EXE for the version of DOS you are using.

- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- As this system is currently configured, there is only a VERY SMALL
- amount of memory remaining ( less than 2k ) after a meta compile.
- Be carful about adding ANY new definitions to the kernel files, as
- this can VERY EASILY result in a crash due to insufficient memory.
-
- The statistics printed at the end of the meta compile are obscure
- to decipher, but if you subtract the first number printed from the
- second number printed, that is HOST space remaining. The last number
- printed is symbol space remaining. Both of these are very small.
- ( less than 1k )
