Abstract: To create a running program on the Professional 350 or 380,
the program must be compiled and LINKed.  Before the program
can be LINKed, the user must create a task builder command
file and an overlay descriptor file.  Creating these files
can prove to be a formidable obstacle to the initial P/OS
user, often taking many times longer than the application
development time itself.
 
PRO/VLINK creates these complex files (as well as the P/OS
Hard Disk Application Installation file) for the application
developer and allows the application development cycle to be
simply create (program), compile, link and run.
 
PRO/VLINK supports the following source languages: FORTRAN,
PASCAL, BASIC, DIBOL and MACRO.  Task builder files for COBOL
and DECUS C are created but may need additional editing.
 
Subroutine calls from the following facilities are supported:
P/OS, POSRES, POSSUM, COMLIB, CGL, FMS, PRTIL and DECnet.
 
Sources not included.
