    NorthC [-Ddefine][-Uundef][-Iinclude][-P][-C]
           [-Ooutput][-V][source]

  The "NorthC" command compiles a 'C' program into code that the "A68K"
assembler can deal with.  The program accepts the following options,

    -D<define>

  If <define> is of the form "FOO=56" then the compiler will define a
preprocessor macro "FOO" with the value 56.  If the <define> is of the
form "FOO" then the "FOO" macro will be defined as 1.

    -U<undef>

  This will undefine a previously defined preprocessor macro.

    -I<include>

  This will make the compiler look in the <include> directory for any
include files it cannot find in the local directory.

    -P

  This will turn on profiling, this causes the compiler to insert some
code at the start of each routine to count the number of times the
routine is called.  This is untested.

    -C

  This causes all static data and variables to be loaded into chip memory
when the program is run.

    -O<output>

  Normally the program works out the output file name from the input file
name, this option overides the default causing the output file to be
created as <output>.

    -V

  Print out some information about the origins of the compiler, the date this
version was compiled and so on.
