reasons, mostly regarding editing convenience. (I did untabify this
README file though.)
The bulk of my development was done in Microsoft Visual Studio 6, but
I also have a Linux partition and the Cygnus Windows toolkit, so you
can send me "patches" and I will be able to apply them with the
"patch" utility.
The bulk of Richard's development was done in Microsoft Visual Studio 6,
but currently Olaf maintains it using a Unix (NetBSD) system. I build
with gcc and a lot of warning options, and from time to time check with
a Linux system which has a different gcc version, and clang. The Visual
Studio project files are out of date.
Richard used the MACRO11 from RT-11 as reference, but I use the one
from RSX-11M+. It turns out there are some small file format
differences. I used the dumpobj command to compare the output of this
macro11 with the reference version when assembling Kermit-11 source
files, and currently there seem to be no significant differences.

-I incpath For any .INCLUDE <file> directive, macro11 will
search the INCLUDE path for a file named <file>
to include. The INCLUDE path works like the MCALL
path. If not specified at all, the default is the
current directory. If <file> contains a drive

(DEV:[DIR]FILE.EXT) then the search is also tried
without DEV: and without DEV:[DIR].

With no -o option, no object file is generated.
