Compiling Notes for C-- Work Bench

 NOTES ON COMPILING

The C-- Work Bench spawns the C-- compiler, which is actually a command line
compiler.  The compiler then compiles the given file.  The compiler only
compiles the file off disk, therefore all changes must be saved to disk to
be recognized by the compiler.  So save your source file before selecting
<F5> to compile&run or <SHIFT><F5> to compile.

Pressing <F4> will display the output screen.  This may be used to view
output from the compiler, such as error messages.

EMERGENCY KILL KEYS

Even the best programmers sometimes make mistakes, and the dreadful lock-up
occurs, usually in some non-terminating loop that does not allow <CTRL><C>
to kill it.  Well the work bench has a built in kill key combo that will
terminate the current program that is executing.

Terminating Running Program:
Pressing <CTRL><ALT><C> will terminate the current program running.  When
these keys are pressed, a serious attempt will be made to kill off the
current program running.  No care will be given to what state the program
is in.  This does impose the possiblities of severly crashing your machine,
but at this point your probably desperate to kill the program anyway, so its
worth a shot.  Be careful, <CTRL><ALT><C> will also terminate the C--
compiler or the C-- Work Bench if they are the currently executing program.
