To build HEX type @HEXBLD.  If you are building HEX on a VMS system, you will
need to edit HEXMACS.MAC to uncomment the RSX symbol definitions and system
macros before invoking the build command file.

If you need to assemble a module, type @MAC and respond with the module name
that you wish to assemble. This will produce an object file plus a listing
file, including cross-reference, spooled to the printer. If assembling
"manually" on an RSX-11M system, note that system definitions
file LB:[11,10]RSXMC.MAC and also
HEXMACS.MAC should be used as a prefixes to all source files, to set up
hardware conditionals and define some common macros, and that READ and WRITE
require the system macro library LB:[1,1]EXEMC.MLB.

HEX.HLP is a help file for HEX and all subcommands. If it is to be read by
the HEX HELP command, or the system HELP utility, it must be made accessible
to HELP, e.g.# by including it in LB:[1,2]DCL.HLP etc..

Test file HEXTEST.CMD may be used to exercise most of the functions of the
installed task, by invoking it as:
.p5
>HEX @HEXTEST
.b1
which assembles a MACRO-11 file, HEXTEST.MAC, which just contains a count
pattern, and reads and writes this in the various file formats. It contains a
number of embedded CLI commands in DCL format at the start. These should be
changed to MCR format if testing from MCR, or executed manually if built on a
system without parent/offspring tasking. HEXTEST.CMD generates HEXTEST.OBJ, and
a number of TEMP._* files, which should be deleted afterwards.

HEXRNOMAN.RNO is this manual in a form suitable for input to the RSX SIG's
RUNOFF version S1.4 (submitted by Charles Spalding), and HEXDSRMAN.RNO is a 
form suitable for input to DIGITAL Standard Runoff.  See the comments at the
tops of each of these files for information on conditional processing
parameters.
